Description: A Plasma port of Argos (https://github.com/p-e-w/argos) and BitBar (https://getbitbar.com/) plugins to fast create custom plasmoids.
More info and instructions at: https://github.com/lipido/kargosLast changelog:
version 0.6.0
- Allows spaces on properties if they are enclosed by single quotes. E.g: echo "A directory list | bash='ls -l' terminal=true" - Mouse wheel rotates items in panel - Adds a dropdown arrow button - New "onclick" attribute to set the action to take when clicking the item (href or bash) - Run/Go buttons are now compact and more integrated in the panel with the KDE style (no borders). - Some minor bug fixes and aspects improvements.
I'm trying this plasmoid (very useful!) but I'm not able to make icons or images appear if the command is placed below the line with "---". I also tried the examples on GitHub, but no icon is visible. Also, the dropdowns don't seem to work.
I'm on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, Plasma 5.11.95, KDE 5.42.0. I've installed the plasmoid using the "Get new widgets" feature, now I'll try to get the sources and compile it by myself to check if there is any difference.
Ok, it's working now. I had a similar problem with another plasmoid which didn't work if installed through Plasma but started working as soon as I compiled and installed it manually. A bit annoying...anyway, great job!
I spoke too soon...
Above the line with "---" everything seems to work fine.
Below:
- no icon appears
- imageUrl works but imageWidth doesn't
Dropdowns still not working.
Yes. Following the bitbar standard, all lines before the line with "---" will "rotate". The plugins I use to develop it was always:
first-line
----
second-line
third-line
In this case, you will see all the contents: the first line in the task bar, and the remaining if you do clic on it.
However, I am implementing the standard, I will update it in the next hours....
I used your example to test it, reading your comment here I realized what was wrong: I placed the plasmoid on the desktop and not in the panel. If I place it in the panel everything works as expected. BTW it would be better in my opinion if when placed on the dekstop, the plasmoid shows all its content, as other plasmoids do ;-)
thank you! The next version (0.3) will have more improvements to the desktop placement version. In addition, In desktop, what you see is all the contents you see when you click it it in the task bar (the pop-up that appears)
I could hack a font to use a monochrome icon for an unused character, but I think I will wait for you implementation XD
Or is there some tech limit that make an icon before "---" impossible?

10 Very useful, simple and effective :) I use cat sometext.txt, perfect.
Oh, you know what would be really good? If clicking the panel icon would let you "run command". The function is not used...
9 9 excellent

Hi, could you paste your script and I could try to guess what is happening?
This seems an awesome idea, though trying it I found a serious bug: it shows only the first line of the command output.

This plasmoid is so cool that it would deserve a category in KDE Store for scripts made for it.

Will it be possible to use an icon in the panel? At the moment: echo "Launcher | iconName=starred" echo "---" doesn't load the icon.
Correct. Not in the lines before "---". A workaround is to use an UTF-8 icon character (which is ugly I know!)

No, I think it will be easy. By now, I have just released the 0.3!
Thanks, I'm trying it.
