Can't see Quarter Tiling in configuration interface. #37

Closed Nifled closed 6 years ago

Nifled commented 7 years ago

I decided to install this via the interface in System Settings under Window Management and Get 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 the Manage KWin scripts section like in the screenshots in this repo. All I see are the default options.

Do you mean the Quarter Tiling script is not – at all – visible in the Manage KWin Scriptsor 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.
