Plasma Configuration Saver for KDE Plasma 6

An applet to save your plasma configurations and change them on the fly.

Note: This is a fork of the original Plasma6ConfigurationSaver repository. This version includes a one-liner installation script for easier deployment. The original work is not mine - I only added the installation convenience.

Warning:

• This is currently experimental, save your work before using.
• Your configurations will be safe, but you might experience crashes.
• Run systemctl --user restart plasma-plasmashell if the panels or the wallpaper stop showing. And they should be back.

Install

Manual Installation

To install manually, run kpackagetool6 --install . in the directory of the project.

One-Liner Installation

For easy installation, use this one-liner (requires internet connection):

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xAlcahest/Plasma6ConfigurationSaver/main/install.sh | bash

Note: Replace YOUR_USERNAME and YOUR_REPO with your actual GitHub username and repository name.

This script will:

• Download the plasmoid archive
• Extract it to a temporary location
• Install it using kpackagetool6
• Clean up temporary files

Repository Setup

This repository contains:

• The complete plasmoid source code
• Installation script (install.sh)
• Pre-built archive (plasma_config_saver.tar.gz) for distribution

To set up your own repository:

1. Fork or clone this repository
2. Update the URLs in install.sh with your GitHub repository details
3. Create a GitHub release and upload plasma_config_saver.tar.gz as a release asset
4. Update the one-liner URL in this README

Current Status

• Runs almost perfectly in plasmoidviewer.
