Bug ID: 440846
Summary: Global settings inappropriately live in the applet
Product: plasma-pa
Version: 5.21.90
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: applet
Assignee: now...@gmail.com
Reporter: n...@kde.org
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
This is confusing for two reasons:
1. Since they are not applet-specific, the logical place for the user to try to
find them is in the KCM, but they're not there.
2. If you have multiple plasma-pa applets (e.g. with a multi-monitor setup
where each monitor has a panel with a system tray on it), their settings
compete and it's not clear which applet wins.
We should move the settings to the KCM, like the Notifications applet does. It
uses kconfig to store the settings data in an rc file rather than the applet
config, and implements a global singleton to make this settings data available
to all the Notifications applets and let them read the same settings together.
To handle the use case of there not being any notifications applets present,
the KCM displays an error message and disables the settings that affect the
applet when opened with no applets present.
The plasma-pa applet could benefit from doing the same.
