Description Jascha Geerds 2010-10-14 10:16:51 UTC

Version:           4.4 (using KDE 4.4.4) 
OS:                Linux

I tried to use a dynamic entry in my kickoffrc, but it does not work. I followed theese instruction: 

http://techbase.kde.org/KDE_System_Administration/Configuration_Files

The dynamic entries work in any configuration file (like dolphinrc), except kickoffrc. I've a script that dynamicly generates the favorite URLs, but in the menu I see only the script and not the individual programs. It looks as if the script will not start

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Use any dynamic entry in your kickoffrc, like FavoriteURLs[$ie]=$(/foobar.sh)


file location:
/home/<user>/.kde/share/config/kickoffrc

Actual Results:  
You will see the script file in your kicker menü

Expected Results:  
You should see the favorite programms

Comment 2 Martin Flöser 2011-12-08 20:15:33 UTC

we need to know whether this is still an issue in a recent version e.g. 4.7.4

Hello! Plasma 4 was replaced by Plasma 5 four years ago by the KDE community. In that time we have made great strides in stability and functionality. We are closing all Plasma 4 bugs as most of them are no longer applicable to the new frameworks Plasma 5 is built upon. If you could, please re-test with the latest version of Plasma 5, and submit a new bug to "plasmashell" if you continue to have an issue. Thank you!
