SUMMARY The "Caveau" tray icon that permits to unlock and lock plasma's vaults does not change when a vault is unocked. When at least one vault is unlocked the icon in the tray should changes to highlight that to the user. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Unlock a vault 2. Observe the tray icon 3. Lock it again 4. Observe the icon again OBSERVED RESULT The tray icon is always the same EXPECTED RESULT The tray icon shows somehow (open lock or different color) that at least one vault is open (in a similar way as the USB tray icon changes when a device is plugged) SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux: Archlinux 64bit (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.9 KDE Frameworks Version: 2.111.0 Qt Version: 5.15.11 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Git commit ace04d03b6470f70420a3ebaf98011b0004b0fb4 by Nate Graham. Committed on 20/04/2024 at 21:46. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'. Make applet active in the System Tray only when any vaults are open Right now the applet is active when any vaults *exist*, and inactive otherwise. This lets you always access a vault with two clicks. As a downside, the Vaults icon is always taking up space in the visible part of your System Tray. My sense is that most users of this feature aren't opening and closing vaults all day every day, so for these people, showing the icon 100% of the time wastes space. Accordingly, let's make the applet active only when any vaults are actually open. This makes the visible contents of the System Tray more contextually relevant, and also provides a visual reminder when you've forgotten to close your last vault--the icon is still visible! The drawback to this change is that accessing a vault when none are already open becomes a three-click task. I think this is an acceptable trade-off for the above benefits, and people who prefer the status quo can restore it by setting the applet to be always visible in their System Tray settings. Implementation-wise, the change relies on storing a list of open vaults in the model that's kept in sync with the one in the KDED service, which mirrors what's already done for the list of busy vaults and vaults in an error state.
