Bug ID: 430493
Summary: Pop-out Settings Window
Product: systemsettings
Version: 5.20.4
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: model...@outlook.com.au
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Currently, the System Settings app is a singleton. This means that multiple
settings windows open will all change the single open app, and hence prevent
multiple pages being opened at once. This can occasionally be useful, e.g. when
looking at the Displays page and another at the same time (or just leaving it
open because you want to come back to it later, then needing to edit another
setting).
Having the ability to "pop out" certain kcmshells into a separate window
(independent of the status of the main settings windows - open or not) would
allow these to stay open. This used to be possible when searching for certain
options through the Start Menu would open just the window and not settings @
that window.
(Alternatively, System Settings could be not a singleton, but I'm unsure how
this would work if you had multiple pages open at once that edit similar files
/ how that would work / if it would work at all)
