--- Comment #2 from postix <pos...@posteo.eu> --- (In reply to Niccolò Venerandi from comment #1) > This is not something that the user is expected to know; rather, the > plasmoid creator should offer a plasmoid file. You can see that many applets > uploaded to the store do allow to download a plasmoid file. But how does a normal user know where to get a "Plasmoid file" from? You say "many" applets, but what are many? The ones I've looked at didn't offer any "plasmoid" file and there's literally no explanation where to look for. > In order to transform the compressed file into a plasmoid file you can > uncompress it, compress the contents of the main folders in a zip file, and > change the extension from zip to plasmoid. Or, you can avoid this step > entirely and place the main folder (uncompressed) in > ~/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/. Is there some Wiki or info page, where one can look these instructions easily up as I haven't found those. IMO the store should enforce _plasmoids_ for download additionally to tar.gz's, so that not "many" but simply "all" offer a convenient way for the user to install plasmoids manually - if there's no explanation or hint added in Plasma. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
