What does it actually do? There is a similar thing in QML called TextMetrics and FontMetrics btw, maybe they could be of use to you. > Is there any repository of contributed libraries, where I can upload the > library to, and where other developers can easily browse/find libraries to > (re)use in their plasmoids? > You could in theory put it in Plasma extra/components, more on that below. > If not, I would like to propose to create such repository.

So when you're developing a Plasmoid, you should search its components found in our apidocs [1]. If you think your addition would be a good addition for other Plasma developers, it is of course welcome to join the Plasma framework. Just note that Plasma tries to not become a collection of everything, so maybe there won't be a place for your little stuff. Alternatively, QtQuick should have most of other generic things you might need. In any case, we could really use a quick overview of what your TextSize.qml does and why do you think it's useful for other Plasmoid developers, then we'll advise you on next steps :) [1] http://api.kde.org/frameworks-api/frameworks5-apidocs/plasma-framework/html/ Cheers -- Martin Klapetek | KDE Developer
