I have my engine in dataengines/time, the name in the metadata.desktop file is 'ruby-time', and I install with this command: plasmapkg --install time --type dataengine I get: /home/rdale/.kde/share/apps/plasma/dataengines/ruby-time /home/rdale/.kde/share/kde4/services/plasma-dataengine-ruby-time.desktop So it looks like plasmapkg goes on the name inside the metadata.desktop file for the destination directory, and so dataengines/ruby-time has a hyphen in it, rather than an underscore. > > > this just follows the conventions we already have in place and follow for > the > c++ side of life. > > the rational for all of it is to make it easy to use traditional command > line > tools to sort through things, e.g.: > > ls ~/.kde/share/kde4/services/plasma-applet* Yes, I certainly agree with that - this is an example of 'Convention over Configuration' as long as we can establish the conventions before we have too many applets. -- Richard
