Description Shmerl 2022-06-30 21:38:28 UTC
ksysguard has a useful feature - when you choose "Detailed information" from context menu for a process from the process list, it gives ability to see loaded shared libraries and a bunch of other information about process context.

Please add similar feature to plasma-systemmonitor, since it's intended as a replacement for ksysguard.
Comment 1 Arjen Hiemstra 2023-01-11 10:44:51 UTC
What's the use case? The page in KSysGuard has always been very questionable to me. If you actually need this information, it is retrievable through the command line. I don't see the value the page adds.

Note that while yes, System Monitor replaces KSysGuard, it doesn't mean we blindly copy everything KSysGuard does.
Comment 2 Shmerl 2023-01-11 17:25:09 UTC
I don't get the question. You can get anything from the command line. Why do you need System Monitor at all then?

The use case was already described. To see shared libraries of a running process. Not sure what exactly needs clarification, but here are some examples:

1. You have a running game want to check what libraries it uses (Mesa version, etc.).
2. You have  GUI application and want to check if it's using Qt, GTK 3, GTK 4 or etc.

And so on.

This is now in progress as a separate application, which allows for a better UI to be developed for detailed process inspection, see https://redstrate.com/blog/2024/05/my-work-in-kde-for-april-2024/#kensa

Neat, thanks for working on it!

Also if anyone needs, since system monitor drop that feature from sksysguard I've been using this trick with htop which works well enough too:

* htop
* F3 to find a process you need, then press Enter
* While on that process, press L which opens a list of all loaded objects (which includes dynamic shared libraries)
* F4 to filter and type what you want to focus on like "qt" to see what version of qt is loaded and so on.

That's it.
