Created attachment 163624 [details] Screenshot of observed bug SUMMARY If Filelight is not installed in the system, clicking on the free space button in the status bar on Dolphin would display a tiny popup menu with no items. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 0. Verify that Filelight is not installed. If it is, uninstall it. 1. Open any Dolphin window 2. Click on the free space button on the status bar. The button text says something like "123.4 GiB free" with a down arrow beside it. OBSERVED RESULT A tiny 1x1 pixel blank popup menu appears below the button. EXPECTED RESULT Possibly a menu with only an entry that says something like "Install Filelight" would appear. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: KDE neon Unstable Edition KDE Plasma Version: 5.81.80 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.245.0 Qt Version: 6.6.0 Dolphin Version: 24.01.80 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Filelight is not installed by default in KDE Neon, so this can be easily reproduced when running the live ISO image. After installing Filelight, Dolphin will populate the otherwise empty menu when the free space button is clicked.

Git commit 0d981e7b7df266c867004e23a169ba8cc13c8683 by Felix Ernst. Committed on 08/07/2024 at 11:41. Pushed by felixernst into branch 'master'. Improve Filelight installation UX Before this commit pressing the free space button when Filelight is not installed would show a singular action called "Install Filelight to View Disk Usage Statistics…". Pressing this button would open the store page for Filelight. This is an okay user experience, but we can do better. This commit makes it so pressing the free space button when Filelight is not installed shows an attractive UI that makes clear that freeing up disk space can be accomplished nicely by installing Filelight. The "Install Filelight…" button on this UI is connected to PackageKit directly, so we do not need to show a separate store like Discover and instead trigger an installation right then and there. For this, the recently introduced DolphinPackageInstaller KJob is used. Installation progress is reported through the status bar similar to the progress reporting of slowly loading directories or searches. Installation failure or success is ultimately shown within Dolphin as a passive notification above the view. On Microsoft Windows or when PackageKit is not available, the install button will only open a store page for Filelight.
