Description Vincent Wilms 2025-04-02 10:56:21 UTC

SUMMARY
Creating a new Plasmoid project produces a Plasma 5 only compatible project

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start a new project creation process
2. Select "Plasma"
3. Select "Plasmoid"
4. Select "Plasma-QML/C++-Miniprogramm (Qt6)" (don't know how it is named in Englisch)
5. Create the project

OBSERVED RESULT
The resulting main.qml file and the metadata.json both are not compatible with Plasma 6. E.g. in main.qml, there is no top-level PlasmoidItem.

EXPECTED RESULT
I expect either an option to select between Plasma 5 or Plasma 6 or the created project should be compatible with the most recent version of Plasma, e.g. 6.

The Plasmoid templates are developed at https://invent.kde.org/plasma/libplasma/-/tree/master/templates

So the Product field of this bug report should be changed accordingly. Consider fixing the template yourself and creating a merge request at libplasma.

Thanks, I updated the product field. I`ll try to create a merge request for this file: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/libplasma/-/blob/master/templates/qml-plasmoid6/package/contents/ui/main.qml (and metadata.json)
