Re: Adjusting Kickoff favorites for Plasma 5.27 not working anymore

[Oliver Freyermuth]

Dear David,

many thanks, indeed, this seems exactly like the bug I was looking for.
While patching the files is not nice, it's certainly a solution for the time 
being
(in my case, I am using Puppet for site-specific configuration on top of 
Debian, so things appear to be already distro-patched anyways).

Thanks and cheers,
        Oliver

I think this issue has been reported as 
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=448660
Seems distros resort to patching files, as these are installed maybe you can do 
so as
well. On my system that is
/usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.kickoff/contents/config/main.xml

Dear Plasma devs,

I'm trying to set Kickoff favorites in Plasma 5.27. The following
Plasmascript worked fine with Plasma 5.20 previously, and the used config
group and parameters are still documented in the Plasma scripting
documentation:


for (var i in panels()) {
      var panel = panels()[i];

      for (var j in panel.widgetIds) {
          var widget = panel.widgetById(panel.widgetIds[j]);

          if (widget.type == "org.kde.plasma.kickoff") {
              print (widget);
              widget.currentConfigGroup = ["General"];

              widget.writeConfig("favorites", [
                  'applications:gimp.desktop',
              ]);
              // Dirty hack:
              widget.writeConfig('favoritesPortedToKAstats', false);

              widget.reloadConfig();
          }
      }
}


However, it seems to be ineffective with Plasma 5.27.

To my knowledge, favorites are now stored in kactivitymanager's SQLite DB,
and their order in ~/.config/kactivitymanagerd-statsrc .

Is there a way to pre-set favorites for new accounts via plasma scripting
working with Plasma 5.27?

Thanks in advance (and please RTFM me in case I missed some documentation),
        Oliver
