Created attachment 135658 [details] screenshot of the popup listing available variants of Newaita icon theme SUMMARY For example, I can't install both dark and light variants of some icon themes. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. open System Settings > Appearance > Icons 2. click on "Get new icons..." button 3. search for Newaita icon theme, hover over it and click on its "Install..." button. As we can see in the attached screenshot, a popup opens showing some variants (master, dark, light, etc) 4. install some variant OBSERVED RESULT after the last step, we can't install other variants of Newaita icon theme. GHNS window only shows "Uninstall" button for Newaita icon theme and therefore there is no way to re-open the popup where we can choose a variant to install. EXPECTED RESULT we can install variants of an addon from KDE Store SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: KDE neon Unstable Edition KDE Plasma Version: 5.21.80 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.79.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2
Entirely correct, and i do want to make it possible to co-install multiple things. However, it is annoyingly not a straightforward problem, as we cannot simply assume that co-installability is a given for all types of content. But, it's something that definitely wants to be possible, so i'll mark this as a wishlist item and confirmed. Also, in case you think you remember that this used to be possible with the old dialog - yes, it was possible to pick a new thing in the UI, but what would in reality happen is that knewstuff would leave a pile of stuff on your system that it no longer knew about, and which was then no longer managed by something on the system. Littering systems with unmanaged data isn't really an acceptable thing to do, so we didn't implement that particular misfeature in the qtquick components :)

While I agree that this should be possible, for most categories this is a problem that needs to be communicated to theme developers. Aurorae themes and Icon themes come to mind, as they allow zipping multiple themes into the same file. Plasma themes do not appear to support incorporating multiple themes into a single download. For this to work properly, theme makers must provide downloads that are capable of existing on the system together. Often times, such as how Papirus Icons is (was?), the different colors were not marked separately, so all downloads effectively had the same name, but the colors were different. I.e., the default Papirus package had the same name as the red folder variant and had identical package names. In the case of the Newaita icon theme, the maintainer should zip both light and dark themes. Downloads should instead be meaningfully split into 2 versions that do not make sense to install together, if they should ever be split: e.g. ARM vs x86.
