Bug ID: 447884
Summary: Show version numbers for available files in KWin
script installation component
Product: systemsettings
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_kwinscripts
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: natalie_clar...@yahoo.de
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
***
The KWin script installation component should show the version numbers provided
for installables from the KDE store.
***
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. System Settings > Window Management > KWin Scripts > Get New Scripts
2. search for an extension that has multiple versions available for download,
such as 'Always Open on Primary Screen'
3. click Install button
OBSERVED RESULT
A list of available installables is shown, but with no indication which file is
which version, in particular which one is the most recent version (see first
attachment).
EXPECTED RESULT
The list of available installables includes the version information as visible
in the KDE store (see second attachment). The most recent version is visually
highlighted and selected by default.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: Arch Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.89.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2
Kernel Version: 5.15.11-arch2-1 (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: X11
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The KDE store lets developers specify a version number for the installation
files made available. This information is shown in the web version of the KDE
store but not in the installation component integrated in the KCM. This makes
it hard for users to tell which of the files is the most recent version (see
e.g.
https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/ruokag/comment/hr1usf4/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3),
unless the developer was aware to also include the version number in the file
name. Since the version information is existent in the store, I would imagine
that it should be possible to present it in the KCM. Additionally I think that
it would make sense for the recent version to be visually distinguished and
selected by default.
