e17 Everything Applications plugin shows no applications
« on: October 23, 2010, 09:19:10 PM »
I'm returning to using e17 part-time again after having gone KDE 4 full time for the last year or so, and I have to say that things are looking really nice.  Hat's off especially to Agust for all of the beautiful themes, as well as to everyone else involved in putting this together.

I've started playing around with the Everything launcher, and most of the plugins work well, except that the Applications plugin doesn't show anything, therefore I can't launch any applications using it (and you can't directly launch any executables using the Files plugin because e17 never implemented directly launching executable files).

Is this a problem with my particular configuration (I had been using e17 on-and-off for a couple of years, so it could be an old config somewhere), or is there a bug somewhere that needs to be sorted out?

airdrik check if you have the apropriate module loaded (Everything-applications)
If you have open the settings panel / tab Extensions / Everything configuration
In the windows that opens choose tab plugins and select the applications plugin.
Make sure 'Enable' , 'Show in All' and Show in top-level are all marked.

I have the module loaded, and everything set up.

I figured out what's going on, though.  It only shows recently used applications by default until you start typing.  Then it shows the list of matching application entries.
