I'm running KDE Plasma 5.7.5 on Fedora 24. I'm having this problem with both versions 0.4 and 04. I execute "sh install-local.sh" and get this:

No metadata file in the package, expected it at: "/home/alex/.local/share/" No metadata file in the package, expected it at: "/home/alex/.local/share/" Constructing a KPluginInfo object from old style JSON.

Successfully uninstalled /home/alex/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/nowdock-plasmoid/nowdockplasmoid

After that, if I actually try to enable the plasmoid in a panel, it just collapses and gives me this error:

Error loading QML file: file:///home/alex/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.store.nowdock.plasmoid/contents/ui/main.qml:243:9: Cannot assign to non-existent property "screenGeometry"

Any idea what's going on here?

Any idea what's going on here?

Now Dock versions 0.4 are compatible only for Plasma 5.8 and beyond... You could use the 0.3 versions for Plasma 5.7

Thanks for the prompt repsonse. My original post contains a typo. I did try this with 0.3 and it failed also. Here's the error message when I try to use the 0.3 branch:

The above line should occur only with 0.4 version, "screenGeometry" was introduced only in version 0.4. In the 0.3 branch opening the main.qml file the above variable does not exist. Are you sure you are using 0.3.2 nowdock plasmoid?

Turns out I hadn't fully removed the v0.4 that I installed mistakenly. Thanks for the help!

no worries... ;)
