Description Pierre Jarillon 2012-12-05 01:34:01 UTC

This is an upstream bug of Mageia 3 alpha3: 
http://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8303
 
The real name of the applet should be displayed in each applet configurator.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Use any localized kde (easier if not english).
For example, when you see "Afficheur de charge système" in french, it is difficult to know that it is systemloadviewer.desktop


Expected Results:  
To find easily the name of the applet to search it, give its name to a friend, wrrite a bug report...

My suggestion is: in each applet -> configuration, add a tab with the original name of the applet, the name of the author, where found some help...

I can confirm this. I have to change language to see what the real applet name for a long time :)

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better performance and usability, so it is likely that this feature request is already implemented in Plasma 5, or is no longer applicable.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!
