When I install a kwin script using: plasmapkg2 --type kwinscript -i test It works fine but for some reason I don't get the gear icon that allows to interact with the ui. To reproduce: 1. copy the default videowall kwin script that is located here /usr/share/kwin/scripts/videowall to somewhere 2. rename all the names (Name, X-KDE-PluginInfo-Name, X-KDE-PluginKeyword and X-KDE-ParentComponents) inside metadata.desktop to something else such as "test" 3. install the test package using: plasmapkg2 --type kwinscript -i "name" 4. open kwin scripts and observe that there is no gear icon for the test script while the default videowall script does have a gear icon.
The desktop file needs to be copied to service location for config to be found. This might be missing in plasmapkg.
This problem also exists with `kpackagetool5` just as with `plasmapkg2`
Any update on this? Is there a way to bring this into the radar of someone active in this area? I came here from issue 79 of kwin-tiling – „No config options“ (https://github.com/kwin-scripts/kwin-tiling/issues/79) (In reply to Martin Flöser from comment #1) > The desktop file needs to be copied to service location for config to be > found.

By now one should use X-KDE-ConfigModule to point to the config plugin that should be loaded. The desktop file bases plugin loading is deprecated.
