Committed on 18/07/2023 at 08:51. Pushed by alex into branch 'master'. Remove X-KWin-Exclude-Listing metadata flag We only have one KWin script making use of this and that one is shown regardless. The issue with this flag is that it will hide scripts from the user without a possibility to see them. For effects, we have quite a few internal ones and a possibility to show even hidden ones. But we can not reuse this logic for the scripts.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=458572 --- Comment #5 from Alexander Lohnau --- I don't quite get the point, one KWin plugin uses the exclude listing flag (though it did not work), but nobody seemed bothered by it. If we offer the internal flag for effects, can't third parties just set the flag themselves? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=458572 --- Comment #4 from Nate Graham --- For desktop effects, there's the ability to mark them as "internal" and then they get hidden by default, but adventurous people can show them with a simple UI in the KCM itself. Maybe it would make sense to do something like that here too. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

I have reached out to the Bismuth people with the suggestion of only hiding the KCM of the script and not the entire script. @Nate, then the "Desktop Change OSD" entry will show in the KCM (though it appears to do so now anyway?). Maybe we can interpret this as a "it is broken now, but nobody seemed to care, so we could keep it as it is". -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=458572 --- Comment #2 from Alexander Lohnau --- See https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/commit/95ac5fa2cef607809189ca73cf05ef8903c19291 for the rationale. Also, please see https://github.com/Bismuth-Forge/bismuth/issues/191. >This could potentially be used by malware. If one were to have a malicious KWin script, one could just enable it by default and override another KWin script in ~/.local/share when executed and pretend to be that script. While hiding certain scripts is not ideal from a security POV, I do not think it is that big of an issue. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
