Bhushan Shah 7ae271987c pluginloader: Change behavior of X-KDE-ParentApp
Summary:
X-KDE-ParentApp is the key in desktop file to display that given service
or application is part of the another application or extension of other
application. In KDE4 this key was used to mark applets to be used in the
specific application like plasma-desktop, kdevelop, amarok etc.

In KF5 world, none of this applications have applet loading mechanism
apart from plasma*, and there are likely only Plasma applet, containment
or dataengines.

Previous API, when no/empty parentApp was passed would filter out every
application which had something as parentApp. This was to ensure only
compatible plugins are loaded in Plasma. This resulted in applets
getting excluded if they suggested that org.kde.plasmashell is their
parent application. Refine this API to,

- If no/empty parentApp is provided, provide all applets
- If parentApp is provided, filter by applet

This behavior is more filter like instead of other way around.

CHANGELOG: Applet, DataEngine and containment listing methods in
Plasma::PluginLoader no longer filters the plugins with X-KDE-ParentApp
provided when empty string is passed.

Test Plan:
tested that plasma loads properly, plasmaengineexplorer lists
all engines and plasmawindowed works fine. Neverthless requires more testing

Plasma Framework

Foundational libraries, components, and tools of the Plasma workspaces

Introduction

The plasma framework provides the following:

  • QML components
  • A C++ library: libplasma
  • Script engines

QML components

org.kde.plasma.core

Bindings for libplasma functionality, such as DataEngine and FrameSvg, see @ref core.

org.kde.plasma.components

Graphical components for common items such as buttons, lineedits, tabbars and so on. Compatible subset of the MeeGo components used on the N9, see @ref plasmacomponents.

org.kde.plasma.extras

Extra graphical components that extend org.kde.plasma.components but are not in the standard api, see @ref plasmaextracomponents.

org.kde.plasma.plasmoid

Attached properties for manipulating the current applet or containment, see @ref libplasmaquick

libplasma

This C++ library provides:

  • rendering of SVG themes
  • loading of files from a certain filesystem structure: packages
  • data access through data engines
  • loading of the plugin structure of the workspace: containments and applets

See @ref libplasma.

Script engines

Provides support to create applets or containments in various scripting languages.
