Problem

After installing the widget via the widget browser and rebooting the system I can't find it in the list of installed widgets.

Expected behavior

After installing the widget via the widget browser and rebooting the system the widget should show up in the list. After that I should be able to add it to my Latte dock.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Right-click on the Latte dock so the menu shows up
  2. Click on Add Widgets...
  3. Click on Get new widgets
  4. Click on Download New Plasma Widgets
  5. Find Window AppMenu Applet by e.g. searching..
  6. Click on Install
  7. Reboot the machine
  8. Redo step 1-5
  9. Check that the Install button has been replaced by an Uninstall button
  10. Redo step 1-2
  11. Try to find the widget Window AppMenu Applet in the list. Can't find it there.

Troubleshooting

Part A

  1. Uninstalled the widget from the widget browser and rebooted the system afterward.
  2. Redid all steps from Steps to reproduce.

Problem persists.

Part B

  1. Removed the widget Window Title Applet from the Latte dock
  2. Uninstalled the widget from the widget browser and rebooted the system afterwards.
  3. Check that it's uninstalled according to the widget browser.

The widget still shows up in the list of available widgets

  1. Press on the uninstall button in the widget list and reboot the system.

The widget still shows up in the list.

Can the problem described in Part B have a connection to this issue?

This applet can not be installed through Widgets Explorer you need to build and install it by yourself as described at README file

Why isn't it possible to install it via the widget explorer?

psifidotos commented 5 years ago

Because it has c++ libraries and code that need to be built and installed first

After compiling from AUR, I could not find this widget in the same way.
