Fwiw the KMoreTools in the free space bar doesn't use a local URL either.

I have noticed this now. And this seems a sane thing to do.
Do Search or any search tools even work in remote locations?
"More Search Tools" menu doesn't cause #420911 in remote connections even though it is also called every time that menu is shown.

https://phabricator.kde.org/D22594#inline-168528:

It was added to handle this action as a button in toolbar (can be added by user, and this was requested in #384798).

I didn't notice this causes such a problem with remote connections, sorry.

It is a rare occasion that user changes preferred search tools, but I guess they would like to have it updated all over Dolphin when they do.

It almost sounds like we need a "full manual control" mode where it's expected that the system tray applet or keyboard shortcut will be used to turn it on and off on demand.

I totally missed the D26688 request.
And it proposes some great ideas.
So just to update my mockup accordingly:

Maybe I should explain my motives and probably that would let us (including me) understand the goal better.

Could you update the description to be a bit more clear about what exactly has been changed for which cases?

Fix for NightColor plasmoid active/passive status

Could you please describe what's wrong with it right now?

new patch

more context lines in diff

"update KParts' ReadOnlyPart::localFilePath in DolphinPart::openUrl()"
instead of reverting by:
"don't use KParts::ReadOnlyPart::localFilePath() in DolphinPart"

Are you planning to work on that other part in this patch, or in a separate one?

I do not plan to change this patch.
As for solving the issue with KRunner invoked from shortcut, I still do not have a good solution for it.

Dropped autostart feature leaving only text aggregation in DesktopView (modified to allow spaces and national characters).

Yes, I'd concluded that the real place to fix the problem was at the KParts level, but not being a KParts expert wanted to leave that decision to its maintainers. +1 for the elegant fix.

I don't want us to make krunner autostart. It's a hack, not a fix.

Maybe if we autostarted KRunner based on whether it was used previously

Second thought on the label:
maybe instead of "Link to:" (noun) it should say "Links to:" or "Linked to:" (verb) to better match labels like "Modified:"?

How about only adding the "Link to:"/"Link Destination" to the detailed view, but moving it up in the ordering:

Done.

Follow up from D22594: https://phabricator.kde.org/D22594?vs=on&id=67500&whitespace=ignore-most#inline-139176

Is this OK now?

Rebased.

Bump.
This privacy issue (#409366) is still unresolved in latest Plasma.

Rebased.

Done.

New, much better solution.

You don't have commit access, do you?

No, I don't.

Is "Piotr Henryk Dabrowski <phd@phd.re>" fine as git authorship?

Yes.

Done.

Small fix for the "Open Preferred Search Tool" as a toolbar button.

As for the feature itself, for the past few years I'd been opposed to this, on the basis that people should just use the built-in Baloo-based search instead. But unfortunately the requests keep coming in

Where? Do we have an open wish on bugs.kde.org ?

I'd like to remind that the menubar is hidden by default and the average user won't know about the CTRL+Shift+F shortcut.
So is this feature only aimed at advanced users who expect CTRL+Shift+F to do something?

new diff: proper fix for clipboard history management

Weak pointer might not work well for this after all.
I need to have a second look at this patch.

new diff: much better patch

I did some more testing, and everything seems to work fine:

$ sudo su
# cd /usr/share/applications

# sleep 2 && mv org.kde.kfind.desktop org.kde.kfind.desktop_    # no KFind now

# sleep 2 && mv org.kde.kfind.desktop_ org.kde.kfind.desktop    # KFind installed

Actions to test (KFind installed/not installed):

• menubar -> Tools -> Open KFind/none
• Control toolbutton (menubar hidden) -> Tools -> Open KFind/none
• [Settings] -> Configure Shortcuts... -> shortcut for Open KFind/Open Preferred Search Tool in the list
