Description Komorebi 2022-02-10 07:02:17 UTC

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install kwin script like https://github.com/esjeon/krohnkite 
2.  Register is as service: 
mkdir -p ~/.local/share/kservices5/
ln -s ~/.local/share/kwin/scripts/krohnkite/metadata.desktop ~/.local/share/kservices5/krohnkite.desktop

OBSERVED RESULT
"Plugin does not provide configuration file in expected location" window

EXPECTED RESULT
Settings work as in previous KDE versions. 

Even if it's not a bug, it's a least a backwards compatibility issue.

Can you try replacing `X-KDE-Library=kwin/effects/configs/kcm_kwin4_genericscripted` in metadata.desktop with `X-KDE-ConfigModule=kwin/effects/configs/kcm_kwin4_genericscripted`?

We needed to mention this change in release notes somehow..
