Bug 440282

By default, when Dolphin is pinned to the Icons-Only Task Manager, right-clicking on the icon shows a list of Places that is truncated if the user has set more than a few Places as favorites in the Dolphin side panel. The user has to click again to show all Places, then click the Places entry that they want to open. This is 3 clicks.

If the user just clicks to open Dolphin directly, then all Places are shown in the sidebar, and any entry is only one more click away: This is 2 clicks.

The context menu on the task manager serves as a shortcut to get to Places in Dolphin more efficiently, but the current default is actually more clicks than just opening Dolphin directly, and defeats the purpose of it being a "shortcut". I think most users have enough screen space to allow showing all Places by default.

If there's a good reason to keep the truncated list as the default, then I'd like to see a persistent toggle to 'show all'. The file /usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.taskmanager/contents/ui/ContextMenu.qml can be edited as root to 'showAllPlaces: true', but it is over-written with system updates.
