Description Thomas Kamps 2010-05-08 13:55:06 UTC

Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

Perhaps you know that problem: You install a plasmoid via knewhotstuff and it is not working for any reason. This could be annoying for normal users.
So here my idea: Show only those plasmoids that are marked to work with the used KDE SC version.

Accoriding to this idea: Some Plasmoids needs the some packages installed (such as plasma-ruby). KNewHotStuff schould inform the user about thoses needed packages.

Hello!

This feature request was filed for KDE Plasma 4, which reached end-of-support status in August 2015. KDE Plasma 5's desktop shell has been almost completely rewritten for better performance and usability, so it is likely that this feature request is already implemented in Plasma 5, or is no longer applicable.

Accordingly, we hope you understand why we must close this feature request. If the requested feature is still desired but not implemented in KDE Plasma 5.12 or later, please feel free to open a new ticket in the "plasmashell" product after reading https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/Bug_Reporting

If you would like to get involved in KDE's bug triaging effort so that future mass bug closes like this are less likely, please read https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved#Bug_Triaging

Thanks for your understanding!
