Description Toadfield 2021-01-08 22:36:49 UTC

If I go to Configure Dolphin>Services>Add Services and then I install a addon and then go back to the service menu.then I can't see any addon that I installed.

Works fine for me. What particular addon did you try?

Do you have packagekit-qt5 installed?

With that it works.
Why isn't that package installed by default in kde?

That's a question for your distro. :) They're the ones who choose what's pre-installed.

For the record, it drives me crazy that Arch-based distros don't pre-install this package alongside Discover. They have their reasons, and I understand them, but I don't agree.

For details, see https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/58524.

When you install a package, pacman will output the optional dependencies (and brief descriptions of their use) of that package.

You can also run pacman -Qi dolphin and you will see "packagekit-qt5: service menu installer".
