Bug ID: 440282
Summary: Feature Request: on Icons-Only Task Manager, Dolphin
should show all Places by default
Product: kdeplasma-addons
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: General
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: k2squa...@icloud.com
Target Milestone: ---
By default, when Dolphin is pinned to the Icons-Only Task Manager,
right-clicking on the icon shows a list of Places that is truncated if the user
has set more than a few Places as favorites in the Dolphin side panel. The user
has to click again to show all Places, then click the Places entry that they
want to open. This is 3 clicks.
If the user just clicks to open Dolphin directly, then all Places are shown in
the sidebar, and any entry is only one more click away: This is 2 clicks.
The context menu on the task manager serves as a shortcut to get to Places in
Dolphin more efficiently, but the current default is actually more clicks than
just opening Dolphin directly, and defeats the purpose of it being a
"shortcut". I think most users have enough screen space to allow showing all
Places by default.
If there's a good reason to keep the truncated list as the default, then I'd
like to see a persistent toggle to 'show all'. The file
/usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.taskmanager/contents/ui/ContextMenu.qml
can be edited as root to 'showAllPlaces: true', but it is over-written with
system updates.
