Bug ID: 464228
Summary: feat: read system-wide default configs from /etc/kde/
Classification: Frameworks and Libraries
Product: frameworks-plasma
Version: unspecified
Platform: NixOS
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: libplasma
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: mil...@gmail.com
CC: m...@ratijas.tk, notm...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
allow to override kde default settings with global config files in /etc/kde/
ACTUAL
currently, the default settings of kde modules are hard-coded
and that default config can only be changed per user ($HOME/.config/)
but not system-wide = for all users (/etc/kde/)
example: baloo
default config: baloo-5.93.0/src/lib/baloosettings.kcfg
user config: $HOME/.config/baloofilerc
```xml
<!-- baloo-5.93.0/src/lib/baloosettings.kcfg -->
<kcfgfile name="baloofilerc" />
<group name="Basic Settings">
<entry name="indexingEnabled" key="Indexing-Enabled" type="Bool">
<label>Indexing-Enabled</label>
<default>true</default>
</entry>
</group>
<entry name="onlyBasicIndexing" key="only basic indexing" type="Bool">
<label>only basic indexing</label>
<default>false</default>
</entry>
```
EXPECTED
let distributors and users have global config files in /etc/kde/
example: /etc/kde/baloofilerc
config resolution:
1. use the hard-coded settings for "baloofilerc"
2. if /etc/kde/baloofilerc exists, merge settings
3. if $HOME/.config/baloofilerc exists, merge settings
