Description Anthony Fieroni 2015-11-17 03:56:23 UTC

Downloaded windgets are forgotten from installed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add widgets
2. Get new widgets
3. Download new plasma widgets
4. Install some (no matter what)
5. Click on installed and new widget present
6. kquitapp5 plasmashell or restart no matter what
7. run plasmashell
8. Go back to installed widget -> it's empty no matter what how many you have

Actual Results:  
Installed widget is marked as installed only for current plasmashell session

Expected Results:  
Mark as installed permanently

I can confirm this behaviour on Netrunner 17 with plasma-workspace 5.5.4+git20160227.0844+15.10  from kubuntu-ci.

One cannot determine which widgets are installed and which need an update as all widgets in the list are marked as not installed and searching for installed widgets gives no result.

> 5. Click on installed and new widget present

After i installed some widget and clicked on 'Installed' radio button - recently installed widgets aren't displayed there - they're displayed only after second launch of 'Get new widgets' window


> 8. Go back to installed widget -> it's empty no matter what how many you have

Can confirm this issue is still relevant in:

Plasma: 5.11.3
Frameworks: 5.41.0
Qt: 5.9.2
Kernel 4.10.0-40-generic
Type: 64-bit

Comment 4 Fabian Vogt 2017-12-22 11:42:45 UTC

This can't be fixed by deletion of the download dialog, as restarting plasmashell does not help.

Additionally deleting the dialog causes a severe regression as the WidgetExplorerPrivate gets destroyed immediately after clicking on the dialog: https://phabricator.kde.org/D9473

Comment 5 Anthony Fieroni 2017-12-22 14:41:01 UTC

The fix introduces a regression. It is correct in https://phabricator.kde.org/R120:acd7034952bc2f72454253056c5a8581b33e22ae
