Description Justin Zobel 2024-09-08 10:57:01 UTC 
SUMMARY
Clicking on configure in NM applet does not allow you to directly configure a network that hasn't been setup before.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Click on configure in the Plasma NM applet on a network you've never connected to or setup before

OBSERVED RESULT
Network Manager KCM opens but does not add the network for you to configure it, it must still be either added manually or connected to once before it can be configured.

EXPECTED RESULT
Network Manager KCM adds the network but does not connect immediately. This allows the user to configure certain elements before connecting to a network easily, e.g. connect to a VPN automatically.

Everything built from git master.

Can confirm. Maybe we should just hide the button for networks you aren't currently connected to.

Applet: Only show Configure action for current network or VPNs

Otherwise we'll show it for every network including disconnected
networks or ones we've never connected to. In most cases, these have no
configuration entries at all, so it doesn't make sense.
FIXED-IN: 6.2.0
