SUMMARY After upgrading to 6.4.0, Kwin scripts requesting readConfig("BorderActivate", "") now receive "" instead of a usable value (on my system running 6.3.5, at least, this was "0"). This means that scripts cannot register screen edge listeners, at least as far as I am able to determine. (The documentation on this is very sparse.) The included Minimize All plugin still works correctly, but if I make an exact copy of it (changing the script ID and nothing else) and install that manually, it is no longer able to register a listener. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Run a Kwin script with the following code: > console.log(readConfig("BorderActivate", "")) 2. Observe the log output Alternatively: 1. Install https://www.pling.com/p/2136524/ 2. Enable the script 3. Go to screen edge listener settings, and notice that it is not one of the available options OBSERVED RESULT There is (to my understanding) no mechanism for installed scripts to register screen edge listeners. EXPECTED RESULT The old method (from 6.3 and below) should be fixed, or a new method should be documented. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: NixOS unstable 25.11 (commit 08f22084e608) KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.15.0 Qt Version: 6.9.0
> The old method (from 6.3 and below) should be fixed, or a new method should be documented. It's an oversight after kwin_x11 and kwin_wayland split.
