Bug ID: 520105
Summary: Workspace General behavior clicking options are not
written to the kdeglobals file
Classification: Frameworks and Libraries
Product: frameworks-kconfig
Version First 6.26.0
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]

Target Milestone: ---
DESCRIPTION
There are some applications which are still dependent on the file
$HOME/.config/kdeglobals for various behavioral settings. One of this setting
is related to mouse Click which in plasma is defined in System Settings >
General Behaviour > Clicking > Clicking files or folders.
The setting that is set in System Settings is not carried forward to the file
$HOME/.config/kdeglobals. Due to this some applications like ZIM, and a few
others, which are still using old QT libraries do not function as intended.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open the file $HOME/.config/kdeglobals and check if the key SingleClick is
defined in the Section "KDE". By default it is not.
2. Select the option in System Settings > General Behaviour > Clicking >
Clicking files or folders, to "Selects them". This is equivalent to use double
click. Click on Apply
3. In the file $HOME/.config/kdeglobals check whether the key
"SingleClick=false" has been added in the section "KDE"
4. We will now change the option. In System Settings > General Behaviour >
Clicking > Clicking files or folders, change the value to "Opens them." This is
equivalent to use single click. Click on Apply.
This is also how browsers work when we click on links and buttons.
5. In the file $HOME/.config/kdeglobals check whether the key
"SingleClick=true" has been added in the section "KDE"
OBSERVED RESULT
When the setting System Settings > General Behaviour > Clicking > Clicking
files or folders, is modified the corresponding key value for "SingleClick" is
not set in the file $HOME/.config/kdeglobals.
EXPECTED RESULT
Whenever the user modifies the value of, System Settings > General Behaviour >
Clicking > Clicking files or folders, the key "SingleClick" should be populated
in the file "$HOME/.config/kdeglobals".
If the user selects the option, "Selects them" then the key "SingleClick=false"
should be populated inside the section KDE of the file
$HOME/.config/kdeglobals.
If the user selects the option, "Opens them", then the key "SingleClick=true"
should be populated inside the section KDE of the file
$HOME/.config/kdeglobals.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
(available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window)
Linux/KDE Plasma: Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 6.6.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.25.0
Qt Version: 6.11.0
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Due to cost and effort constraints not all applications using the QT library
can be migrated to the latest QT framework settings. Due to this it would be
best so that settings are maintained for older QT library settings too. Doing
this will also make the KDE Plasma applications and QT5/QT6 applications
behavior seamless and uniform. It will not happen that one particular QT
application works on double click while another works on single click.
