SUMMARY An option for a location was added under appearance in Digital Clock. When exported with the Global Themes Explorer, this setting is not remembered. Applying a desktop layout that had it sets it to the default value instead. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Set the clock to show "Always beside time" 2. Export it as a layout 3. Apply the layout OBSERVED RESULT The clock will be shown with the default value of "adaptive location" EXPECTED RESULT The setting for "Always beside time" should be preserved SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.80 KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I you add this value manually to the exported config file, does it take effect as expected? In other words, is this an issue with the applet itself, or with Global Theme Explorer's exporting functionality?

When I set that applet and export it, in the layout.js I see "dateDisplayFormat" has "BesideTime" and, well, when set to the default has no value in the layout.js. Theme Explorer seems to have it.
Also, for whatever reason, this bug disappeared from my list of open bugs so I could not find it when I went to that page. Is this an intentional function of needsinfo?

In any case, when applying the desktop layout in global themes, the clock does not display in the "beside" format. I have also noticed that icons-only-taskmanager does not receive the proper layout. It seems only a single broken link is added when you try to apply a layout. I believe the entire list of applications is mistakenly added as one. Something very weird is also happening where sections seem to be duplicated in the file. Possibly from exporting multiple times. /Configuration/General and /Configuration/Configuration/General are an example. Unsure if either exporter or plasmoid or both are broken.
Let's focus on one thing at a time. :) If the layout.js file gets `dateDisplayFormat=BesideTime` in it when you export the layout while the clock is in "beside time" mode, are you saying the problem is that this isn't being respected when the exported global theme is applied?

Yes, more specifically: "dateDisplayFormat": "BesideTime"
Thanks.
A big change was made for Plasma 5.25 to actually apply layout stuff properly. Can you check again with current git master, or with Plasma 5.25 once it's released?
