STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. open kickoff 2. search for any app/kcm 3. right-click on the app/kcm you have searched for 4. choose 'Add to desktop' OBSERVED RESULT nothing happens EXPECTED RESULT app/kcm should be added to desktop SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: KDE neon Unstable Edition KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.80 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.91.0 Qt Version: 5.15.3 Graphics Platform: Wayland
Broken for me in non-search view too. Console log says: QMetaObject::invokeMethod: No such method FolderViewDropArea_QMLTYPE_57_QML_60::addLauncher(QUrl) Candidates are: addLauncher(QVariant) Seems like something got ported wrong, or else an API changed and we didn't port everything to it.
Confirmed, found the broken code parts. It was indeed a porting/refactoring regression ;)

I don't have an option to "Add to desktop". Where does it come from?

(In reply to Noah Davis from comment #4) > I don't have an option to "Add to desktop". Where does it come from? I recently fixed it not showing up, see https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=448590
This bug persists with KCMs. 1. search for 'mouse' KCM 2. right-click on mouse KCM and choose 'Add to desktop': nothing is added to desktop 3. repeat the previous steps: 'File already exists' dialog seen in the attached screenshot shows up

Can reproduce that.
I have a local fix, but need to test potential side effects first. The issue is that the desktop kio slave skips these entries. If you open the desktop folder in Dolphin, the KCMs should up as one expects.

Git commit 3e54282420d6203951b858d370297a914509e6de by Nate Graham, on behalf of Alexander Lohnau. Committed on 10/02/2022 at 19:28. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'. Desktop: Still show services with nodisplay=true set When adding KCMs to the desktop, we add the entry with NoDisplay=true so that it does not show up in a search. However before this commit, that would cause the entry to not show up on the desktop as well. Because of the filtering in the services runner, we already make sure that only relevant entries can get added to the desktop in the first place.
