Description Riccardo Robecchi 2022-11-28 16:43:31 UTC
SUMMARY
Placing the plasmoid directly on the panel leaves the user without any way to access settings, aside from manually opening the System Settings application. This is in contrast to basically all other plasmoids (e.g. networks, volume, Bluetooth...) which feature a settings button. While settings are available through right-click, this is not always accessible (e.g. on my tablet, where right-click emulation does not work on the panel for whatever reason).
This is especially noticeable when there are no paired devices available: the plasmoid should be made consistent with the other ones (networks, Bluetooth) and offer a button to open the settings, or at least one to refresh the available devices.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Place the plasmoid directly on the panel
2. Click on it

OBSERVED RESULT
No settings button.

EXPECTED RESULT
There is a settings button that opens the relevant KCM page.

Wait no. I see what you mean - not resolved
