SUMMARY
***
NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols.
See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports
***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Plasma Global Theme Explorer
2. Click the hamburger menu and select New theme
3. Fill out everything except the plugin-name

OBSERVED RESULT
The contents and metadata.desktop are deposited directly into ~/.local/share/plasma/look-and-feel/

EXPECTED RESULT
They should have their own folder. Perhaps the GUI should be more of a stickler with the plugin name rather than the website or email.

That thing looks like a QQC1 application, which means it should be rewritten almost from scratch. I wonder what is it ever useful for in its current state, or how many unmaintained bugs are there…

You aren't wrong. Most of the tools for developing themes for KDE are from another century. The only thing I've tried to use it for was exporting desktop layouts, which worked questionably well. The last issue was it duplicating everything every time you tried to export it so everything had 2 entries in the .js.
