Is there somewhere a documentation/tutorial > for Plasma 5 dataengines? I'm not aware of a dataengine. But we can look at the source :-) I'm taking a dataengine I wrote (plasma-workspace/klipper): install(TARGETS plasma_engine_clipboard DESTINATION ${KDE_INSTALL_PLUGINDIR}/ plasma/dataengine) install(FILES plasma-dataengine-clipboard.desktop DESTINATION $ {KDE_INSTALL_KSERVICES5DIR}) install(FILES org.kde.plasma.clipboard.operations DESTINATION $ {PLASMA_DATA_INSTALL_DIR}/services) Hope that helps you to get some steps further :-) Cheers Martin
