Wait, when did it become "Power Management"? The applet doesn't manage any power itself, except setting brightness and displaying battery status. I think it is called 'Power Management' in desktop computers without a battery and without support to screen brightness adjustment. The icon is also different in system tray. (In reply to Patrick Silva from comment #3) > The icon is also different in system tray. system tray settings, I meant. Is this machine a laptop or a desktop? Besides of this issue, in my laptop now the system tray icon does not display the battery percentage. It says that there is not battery available. It seems the same issue that an older bug used to affect, that on sometimes the icon showed this same message of no battery detected or available Operating System: KDE neon 5.26 KDE Plasma Version: 5.26.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.98.0 Qt Version: 5.15.6 Kernel Version: 5.15.0-50-generic (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 4 × Intel® Core™ i7-7500U CPU @ 2.70GHz Memory: 15.6 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® HD Graphics 620 Manufacturer: TOSHIBA Product Name: SATELLITE PRO A50-D System Version: PS585E-03F030CE (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #5) > Is this machine a laptop or a desktop? Desktop. In that case, the fact that the name changes to "Power Management" in the popup is intentional, and the bug is that the name doesn't get changed in the settings window. In fact I'm not sure we can; the name shown in the popup dynamically changes in the plasmoid's code, but the name shown in the settings window is taken from its JSON metadata, which is unchanging. I can think of a few options: 1. Don't ever change the plasmoid's name. Downside: lose name changing feature in System Tray 2. Have the settings window get the name from the plasmoid not its metadata. Downside: name still wrong everywhere else (widget explorer, Krunner, Discover, etc) 3. Allow the JSON metadata name to change using the same logic as in the applet. Probably technically impossible. So unfortunately I think we have to live with this the way it is, sorry. |
