>When I filter to the ones that are installed from it, KNewStuff doesn't find them.
So you mean you have installed them, but they are not listed as installed anymore when reopening the KCM?
Make sure you have the latest updates and please provide the name of one of the themes that does not work :-)

One example that comes to mind is Breeze AlphaBlack. Right now, everything's working. But there are times when the "Installed only" filter would be empty. Created attachment 134730 [details]
Sugar Candy SDDM theme not recognized as installed
I'm showing that Sugar Candy SDDM theme is installed on my system (which I did via KNewStuff some time ago), but KNewStuff doesn't recognize it.

Other themes aren't showing up as well
All of the themes shown (other than Breeze) are installed via KNewStuff
When you say that you've downloaded a bunch, when did you do this? I ask this, because i'm afraid the old method was broken in such a way as to make it impossible to verify things as having been installed, which means that if you installed these items prior to earlier this year, they will not be shown as installed in KNewStuff. It is a distinctly suboptimal situation, but i'm afraid there really was no sensible way to get around that problem... If you installed them recently, however, then that of course isn't the issue here (which is why i'm asking).

Should I just simply install again? Yeah unfortunately this was just totally broken in the past. Would you mind uninstalling and reinstalling those themes, and seeing if that resolves the issue for you? Created attachment 135458 [details]
Newly downloaded themes from this morning didn't show up again.
I downloaded new themes this morning, deleting the ones I don't use anymore. Still no good.
Boo! :( |
