SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux: Arch KDE Plasma Version: 5.16.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.61.0 Qt Version: 5.13.0 Issue still present in this system too: Linux: Kubuntu 19.04 KDE Plasma Version: 5.15.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.56.0 Qt Version: 5.12.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The cause of the issue is that the metadata.desktop file is never copied or symlinked into ~/.local/share/kservices5/ path. Manually making a symlink seems to work perfectly: mkdir -p ~/.local/share/kservices5 ln -s ~/.local/share/kwin/scripts/something/metadata.desktop ~/.local/share/kservices5/kwin-script-something.desktop Further references: https://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Plasma4/PackageOverview "Installation.
