Sentry Crash Report:

Description andreas 2016-01-10 13:45:40 UTC 
all applications have an about dialog (in the help section) where you get the information how is response to the app and where you can get more information. as plasmoid use .desktop files like desktop applications it would be nice to have this useful information in the property section of plasmoids.
in addition most plasmoid have only the keyboard entry in the configuration dialog.
it would be also easier for contributors to get the right name of the plasmoid (kicker, kickoff, ... ) how is response for and maybe where to geht the source code.

Reproducible: Always

makes sense, more a whishlist than an actual problem
Comment 2 Mihai Sorin Dobrescu 2020-06-30 13:13:22 UTC 
Hello, I think it is useful for users to get the name of the widget and know where to add some bug report or feature request, what is the source of a widget, from a distro or third party or if it's an official KDE Plasma widget.

Add an about page to ConfigView

This is a copy of AboutPage from Kirigami with the following changes:
- Property names have been changed to match KPluginMetadata instead of KAboutData
- The license text is in a Dialog instead of an OverlaySheet
- Supports only one license because KPluginMetadata only supports one license
- Dropped the part about Qt and KF versions
