Kalpa - Plasma Bigscreen - Applications

English Applications
1

I have Kalpa installed with Plasma Bigscreen.
I have tried what I think is supposed to work for removing Applications from Big Screen.
created a new directory ( ```
mkdir -p ~/.local/share/applications

then:

`for app in org.kde.falkon.desktop org.kde.kcalc.desktop; do
src=“$(find /usr/share/applications /var/lib/flatpak/exports/share/applications ~/.local/share/flatpak/exports/share/applications -name “$app” 2>/dev/null | head -n1)”
if [ -n “$src” ]; then
cp “$src” “$HOME/.local/share/applications/$app”
grep -q ‘^NoDisplay=’ “$HOME/.local/share/applications/$app”
&& sed -i ‘s/^NoDisplay=.*/NoDisplay=true/’ “$HOME/.local/share/applications/$app”
|| echo ‘NoDisplay=true’ >> “$HOME/.local/share/applications/$app”

grep -q '^Hidden=' "$HOME/.local/share/applications/$app" \
  && sed -i 's/^Hidden=.*/Hidden=true/' "$HOME/.local/share/applications/$app" \
  || echo 'Hidden=true' >> "$HOME/.local/share/applications/$app"

fi
done````

Then ran: kbuildsycoca6 --noincremental, and then rebooted.

Applications are still in Plasma Bigscreen. Any help removing Appliations from Bigscreen would be helpfull. Thank you

First, the formatting is a mess, makes it hard to read :grimacing:
Second, and admitted I just had a quick install in my TW VM, aren’t you barking up the wrong tree? If I go into ~/.config/plasma-bigscreen there is a number of files, amongst them applications-blacklistrc. Isn’t that what you are aiming for? My gut feeling is that on a package update or a flatpak update your changes maybe overwritten.

Maybe you’d better first explain what you want plasma-bigscreen for as a usecase.

I guess that is what I want to do, I agree my paste did not work correctly, a hot mess. I will lock at the blacklistrc. Thank you
