Description Kishore Gopalakrishnan 2019-05-15 14:57:39 UTC

SUMMARY
If we right-click on the 'Networks' item in the system tray, we get two options. One of them opens the system settings panel to configure networks, while the other opens a configuration window for the plasmoid. Currently, it is difficult to distinguish which does what from the name alone. The option that opens the configuration for the plasmoid should be more clearly named as 'Configure Networks Plasmoid' or 'Configure this applet'.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux distro: Arch Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 5.15.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.57.0
Qt Version: 5.13.0

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Simliar to bug 407560, but for this plasmoid.

Comment 1 Nate Graham 2019-05-21 19:27:38 UTC

IMO the real solution here is to remove the configuration window and move its two options into the KCM. This is what we did for the Notifications applet recently.

Comment 2 fire f. 2019-08-09 12:26:09 UTC

I confirm that the wording of the 2 options is not helpful, is has very little explanatory value.

Move applet configuration to KCM

Summary:
It doesn't make sense to have additional applet configuration, especially when
the configuration is not related only to the applet.
