Description Theo 2021-06-26 13:19:04 UTC

The Application Menu/Dashboard can be configured to show often used applications but there seems to be no way to configure the number of items that are shown. For me, the 14 most used applications are shown on the Application Dashboard and I would like to increase this number.

Apparently, this number depends on the cached score of the applications. If the score of an app is below a certain relative threshold, it will not be shown in the menu/dashboard. This is definitely not the desired behavior for me. I don't want an often used application to never show up because it is used less frequently than the top most used applications.

This is the command I use to check the score:

$ sqlite3 -header -column $HOME/.local/share/kactivitymanagerd/resources/database "SELECT targettedResource,cachedScore FROM ResourceScoreCache WHERE initiatingAgent IS 'org.kde.plasma.kicker' ORDER BY cachedScore DESC;" | less

We are not adding this as an option.
