Thanks a lot for taking the time to investigate and summarize this! The variant I went with now was to publish the metadata with `X-KDE-ConfigModule`, and instruct users of older Plasma versions to run a sed command replacing that part with `X-KDE-Library` before creating the symlink: > sed -i 's/ConfigModule/Library/g' > ~/.local/share/kwin/scripts/floatingtiles/metadata.desktop > mkdir -p ~/.local/share/kservices5/ > ln -sf ~/.local/share/kwin/scripts/floatingtiles/metadata.desktop > ~/.local/share/kservices5/floatingtiles.desktop > qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin reconfigure If they have to manually intervent anyway, might as well add one line more, and that way at least users of an up-to-date system can use the scripts out-of-the-box. But of course it would be preferable if there was a fix for older Plasma versions so it works automatically for them too. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
