Bug ID: 496650
Summary: Cannot change splash screen different than Breeze
Classification: Applications
Product: systemsettings
Version: master
Platform: Neon
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_splashscreen
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: piotr.mierzwin...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
More than one week ago I noticed that my splash screen changed to default, so
"Breeze". Today I decided to check this out and to try to change. Unfortunately
I wasn't able to change to different than Breeze or "None". To be funny is
highlighted one which is not uses (check attached screenshot).
Click on other then Breeze or None doesn't work. Usually is highlighted first
one. When I click on "preview" button also happens nothing. I can navigate
through the splash screens only by keyboard (arrows).
The titles of my old screen splashes disappeared. I installed new one and is
visible and seem to be able to be activated.
I made short investigation and found that in new splash screen is used .json
file but in old there is .desktop. Maybe this is root cause.
Seems you changed type of file what holds metadata and abandoned old format
with no information in the system. Tell me please why? I think there is many
uses who use old splash screens, and one day it stopped work without any
explanation. For me as user this looks like not a good approach on your part.
You break backward compatible with something and don't care what happen next
and even don't show any information what is wrong.
IMO. This is for sure not user friendly approach.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Try to change splash screen to installed couple weeks ago, or older. One
what works in Plasma 5.
2.
3.
OBSERVED RESULT
Is not possible to change splash screen
EXPECTED RESULT
Would be nice if would be possible to change splash screen to old one and at
least show information what is wrong with old.
