Do you mean the Quarter Tiling script is not – at all – visible in the Manage KWin Scripts
or is it just the configuration menu for the script missing? If it's only the configuration menu that's missing, it's a known issue when installing KWin Scripts via the KDE Settings. Don't worry though, you should be able to fix it with two commands.
mkdir -p ~/.local/share/kservices5
ln -sf ~/.local/share/kwin/scripts/quarter-tiling/metadata.desktop ~/.local/share/kservices5/kwin-script-quarter-tiling.desktop
If you installed the script as root, the paths would be /usr/share/
instead of ~/.local/share/
For some reason it's the Quarter Tiling script is not visible in the Manage KWin Scripts
at all. I go into the KDE Store and it appears as 'installed', and even has an option to uninstall, but I don't see it under the actual menu.
This is a fresh KDE Neon install btw, I'll try executing the commands you mentioned as soon as I can. Thanks for the reply!
No problem, I'll gladly help you get the script working. Never hesitate to ask questions :wink:
Anyways, what does ls ~/.local/share/kwin/scripts
print? I wonder if the script got properly installed as the KDE Store is (at least in my experience) a little unreliable.
I decided to install this via the interface in
System Settings
underWindow Management
andGet New Scripts
, since I'm having trouble doing it via the command line, and ended up installing it successfully (apparently). The problem is, now that I've installed it,Quarter Tiling
doesn't show up on theManage KWin scripts section
like in the screenshots in this repo. All I see are the default options.
