Bug ID: 485829
Summary: Hide "Virtual Display" button or show instructions, if
krfb / krdc are not installed
Classification: Applications
Product: kdeconnect
Version: unspecified
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: plasmoid
Assignee: albertv...@gmail.com
Reporter: fabian.ar...@root-core.net
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
A button should only be shown, if there is any functionality behind it.
Therefore it shouldn't be shown if the prerequisite is missing.
It should at least give the user some kind of feedback, if the triggered
functionality isn't available or failed executing.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Pair two computers, lacking krfb/krdc
2. Activate "Virtual Monitor" plugin
3. Open Plasmoid
4. Click "Virtual Display"
OBSERVED RESULT
The current implementation fails silently, if krfb (guest) or krdc (host) are
not installed.
Nothing happens, if you click the "Virtual Display" button.
EXPECTED RESULT
The plugin / plasmoid should check if host and client are capable to establish
a "Virtual Display" connection, which requires kfrb to create a virtual display
and krdc to host it.
There should/could be some instruction or hint, if this is not the case.
If we don't want to implement this, we should at least hide the button.
