Hi,
lately I noticed that when I launch an app from Popup Menu, it opens the .desktop file in a text editor instead of launching the app.

I have the same issue. The desktop files are all opened in kate text editor.

I installed popup laucher manually, because trying to install with KDE (system tray->add application->load new widget) resulted in a "file not found" error. Maybe this is relevant?

I have a German Desktop, translated the above menu/message, the English may be somewhat different, but I hope you understand ...

Hm, that sounds like a plasma issue, not sure what I could do about that.

The fact is that it only happens when I open an app from Popup Menu. When I click on a desktop file from Dolphin, for instance, it behaves correctly and launches the app.
Is there anything I can do to help you?

Hi,
is it possible to have a filter/search when adding an app to the list ?
thanks for your work :)

That's a good idea, I added an issue for it on github. But I don't have much time at the moment, so don't expect anything, sorry :(.

I tried a few times to install these extension on my KDE 5.10, but nothing happens. I can't, I think it's a compatibility issue. Please, fix it! :)

Up to now, I can't find these widget from the default widget installer. Neither from the Discover. How can I install the package manually?

Report

You can drop the .plasmoid file onto the (unlocked) desktop. A menu with an "Install" option will appear.

Works perfectly, sorry If I'm too late. :)

Anyway I would like to ask you some implementations:

- If you can add the possibility to include also the .plasmoid icons as a separate list,
- If you can add a setting to order the icons like a grid or list.
- If you can add the docklet function (also to places widget)
- If you can add a search bar to the programs list in the PL settings and consent the multiple selection of more programs at the same time.
- Also I would like to ask you If you can add a menu setting to pin the programs directly to the Popup Launcher when are opened on the KDE panel.

Oh my. I've been looking for this for about a year. I love new Plasma abilities and how it looks, but i hated it's disability to make user feel satisfied when trying to launch apps. Launcher are ugly in this DE, and this addon helps one to categorize launchers by their options. Good luck man (guessing), u did a good job here
