ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 2 David Edmundson 2019-06-13 12:27:30 UTC 
Is anything installed in ~/.local/share/plasma/look-and-feel/
Comment 3 Icarus 2019-06-13 12:38:28 UTC 
Thanks for the reply.

Here's what's in the directory:

kpluginindex.json  
org.KDE-Story.desktop  
org.Sleek.desktop

When installing a theme, nothing ever goes into this directory.
Comment 4 David Edmundson 2019-06-13 12:48:24 UTC 
So in system settings you see these two:

org.KDE-Story.desktop  
org.Sleek.desktop


and breeze + oxygen

but nothing new?
Comment 5 Icarus 2019-06-13 13:10:48 UTC 
Nope, never anything new. Even after a bunch of installs from the "Get New Look and Feel Themes". In the Look and Feel window, I see:

Breeze
Breeze-Dark
Fedora

Nothing ever changes in:

~/.local/share/plasma/look-and-feel/
Comment 6 David Edmundson 2019-06-13 13:15:11 UTC 
Not seeing sleek or story is weird. Sounds like we have two bugs.

Can you upload:
~/.local/share/plasma/look-and-feel/kpluginindex.json
Comment 7 Icarus 2019-06-13 13:21:52 UTC 
Opening this file shows invalid characters in both nano and kwrite.

"The file /home/user/.local/share/plasma/look-and-feel/kpluginindex.json was opened with UTF-8 encoding but contained invalid characters."

Information was provided with comment #7; changing status for inspection.
Comment 10 David Edmundson 2025-01-23 12:03:10 UTC 
Not really - it didn't have the file attached. 
This is rather inactionable for now, lets follow anything new in a new report.
