No need to use a > Plasma one. What if 1. I don't use a desktop environment, but I need a way to setup localization for KDE applications? 2. I have GNOME installed, but can't figure out how to use its tools? The way out from this situation is that I install systemsettings5 and use it to configure localization while in a GNOME shell session. >> - Akonadi, > > Erm no.

So the workflow in this case would be to 1. Run "kcmshell5 --list" to see the list of available KCM, 2. Run e.g. "kcmshell5 kcm_baloofile". Did I get you right? Then how do I search KCMs by keywords? kcmshell5 does not seem to provide this functionality. Am I supposed to run "grep PIM /usr/share/kservices5/kcm*.desktop" to perform such a search? Is your vision that writing third-party KCMs should be forbidden? (By "third-party" I mean those that are not released as part of Plasma.) -- Alexander Potashev _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
