Description Rebecca B. 2020-10-26 20:07:07 UTC 
SUMMARY

At the moment the "battery and brightness" widget currently allows to see as icon only the first battery status when placed on a panel, and the user must click on the plasmoid to see all of other batteries installed on the computer as context menu, and seemingly there are not an option to select which one the user wants to display in the plasmoid setup.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Place the "battery and brightness" widget on a panel, you see the status of the 1st battery.
2. Click on the "battery and brightness" plasmoid, you see on the context menu any other battery installed on the system.
3. Right click on the plasmoid, press on "configure battery and brightness" to open the widget configurator menu: there is only one option, which is the possibility to show the percentage or not, nor other.

OBSERVED RESULT

Absence in the configuration menu of an option that allows you to choose which battery to display the status of as a widget icon.

EXPECTED RESULT

Presence in the configuration menu of an option that allows you to choose which battery to display the status of as a widget icon.
