Description cgar 2024-06-14 16:17:57 UTC 
SUMMARY
KDE Connect's Send notifications plugin no longer populates the applications list. Due to this, nothing can be added to the blacklist, which leads to many unwanted notifications on the Android side.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open KDE Connect in system settings on the Linux side.
2. Open the Send notifications configuration window.
3. Observe that the Applications box is empty, despite having send sometimes hundreds of notifications.

OBSERVED RESULT
Applications box is empty, despite having sent notifications.

EXPECTED RESULT
Applications box contains list of apps that sent notifications which allows adding them to the blacklist.

KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.5

Comment 7 Florian Achleitner 2024-11-29 09:25:57 UTC 
This one is still there on Fedora 41.
In the journal I see this line twice, when I open the config dialog of sendnotifications in systemsettings:

QVariant::load: unknown user type with name NotifyingApplication.

This is probably declared here https://invent.kde.org/network/kdeconnect-kde/-/blob/master/plugins/sendnotifications/notifyingapplication.h

However, my understanding of how that works in QT/KDE is not sufficient.
