Description miklos 2020-11-13 15:30:28 UTC

If the main object of a plasmoid is a C++ class in a native library specified via X-KDE-Library in metadata.desktop, it comes up empty in plasmoidviewer. Examples:
- plasma-addons/comic
- plasma-addons/weather
- plasma-workspace/systemmonitor (after the recent rework)

Can you please re-test on your system with Plasma 6.4.1 or later and let us know if you can still reproduce the problem? If you can, please set this report back to REPORTED. Thanks!
