Sorry for the typo: in item 1 of "Steps to reproduce") please replace "Aactionsdd System Settings to panel or latte-dock" with "Actions." Unfortunately, the same applies to "firefox.desktop" as well. This means I have two application launcher icons on my dock/panel which cannot include actions (other apps) from related categories such as System and Internet, which is very handy. ;-) This was fixed in Plasma 5.23. |
Created attachment 137019 [details] screenshot of my latest system settings context menu SUMMARY System Settings only displays several recently/frequently used Settings, ignoring any Actions in its .desktop file, including the default ones that come with the package. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Copy "/usr/share/applications/systemsettings.desktop" to "~/.local/share/applications/" and add one or two Aactionsdd System Settings to panel or latte-dock 2. Open "~/.local/share/applications/systemsettings.desktop" and go to line: "Actions=kcm-lookandfeel;kcm-users;screenlocker;powerdevilprofilesconfig;kcm-kscreen;" 3. Add "SoftwareCenter;" 4. Append the following lines to the end of the file: [Desktop Action SoftwareCenter] Name=Software Center Icon=plasmadiscover Exec=plasma-discover 5. After saving, drag and drop the file "~/.local/share/applications/systemsettings.desktop" onto your panel or latte-dock. 6. Right click to display the context menu. OBSERVED RESULT The context menu only shows some recently/frequently used Settings (generated automatically), ignoring those in its .desktop file, including the default ones that come with the package. EXPECTED RESULT The context menu should show all Actions properly included in the .desktop file as well as any other items generated automatically, like other apps.
