I need to add a new servicetype for the new PopupApplet and so I've got a file called plasma-applet-popupapplet.desktop containing this: [Desktop Entry] Type=ServiceType X-KDE-ServiceType=Plasma/PopupApplet Comment=Plasma popup applet ... translations of the comment Does that seem correct? The Containment one also has these lines: [PropertyDef::X-Plasma-ContainmentCategories] Type=QStringList Do I need an equivalent one for Plasma/PopupApplets? C++ PopupApplets don't seem to have their own service defined and they are just Plasma/Applets. I think I've seen this in a .desktop file though: ServiceTypes=Plasma/Applet,Plasma/PopupApplet Is that what we should have - or is it just wrong, and there should only ever be one ServiceType defined for plasma things in .desktop files? I was going to add this to the 4.2 branch, but if it needs translations in the service type files, then maybe I shouldn't. -- Richard _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
