Version: 0.12.5 (using KDE 3.5.7, Gentoo) Compiler: Target: i686-pc-linux-gnu OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.22-gentoo After downloading new smilies they are marked as installed in the "get new stuff"-dialog. But also after deleting them from within kopete they are still "active" in the dialog and can't be downloaded again. After deleting the references to them from the kopete-config file and restarting kopete they are "new" again.
this bug should be closed
ok, the nice thing is that this bug is still correct regarding plasma themes in KDE SC 4.9 ... waiting for a reply to help squashing this bug
KNewStuff keeps a registry of what has been installed through it. If you uninstall or delete stuff without using knewstuff to do it, it doesn't know about that. KNewStuff doesn't go scan your hard drive to see if stuff that you have installed through it is still there, maybe it should.
I've just deeply tested downloading/installing/using/removing something through knewstuff in kde 4.9 in Kubuntu Precise and it works for: amarok, colors, icons, it is buggy for: - decorations: theme previews are not shown after installing/removing another theme is applied or the kcm module is reloaded. - plasma theme: doesn't REALLY uninstall themes, which are available even after uninstalling, - cursors: pretty everything is buggy. 1. if a HTML link is used for installing, even if operation is canceled, it looks as installed 2 installed themes (have they really been installed?) not always are shown, sometimes 3 if uninstalled from kcm shell, GHNS shell still displays it as installed. - emoticons: here, again, if uninstalled from kcm shell, GHNS shell still displays it as installed. - ksplash: here, again, if uninstalled from kcm shell, GHNS shell still displays it as installed. - KDM: themes are installed but not available. Not working. as you can see the actual state of art is terrible for a 4.9 release. it's bizarre how different kcm modules has different problems with this library. do not hesitate to reply for fixing all the bug. I want to remark that the interfaces of all these kcm modules has really no homogeneous design style.. need desperately some love. hope it has been useful thanks for your attention alex
an update: GHNS works well for wallpapers, for plasmoids: if uninstalled from plasma shell, GHNS shell still displays it as installed. alwys this problem present with uninstall buttons out of GHNS shell
This is still a problem in Kubuntu 13.04/KDE 4.10. I installed some Plasma themes through "Get Hot New Stuff" from within System Settings. I decided I didn't want the extra themes anymore, but even after uninstalling them, they are still listed as installed and available for use.
This bug was reported several years ago, and is still not fixed. Not being able to uninstall themes you've downloaded is a very embarrassing bug. I tested it again with 4.10.3. I downloaded "Helium" through the "Get Hot New Stuff dialog" and then I clicked the "uninstall" button. The theme is still there. I tried to reinstall it and remove it again, but the theme is now a permanent part of my KDE config with now way to remove it. I've tried it with other themes, and I have the same results.
