Bug ID: 491479
Summary: UX/Usability: quick settings for external screen don't
show up again when plugging it in the second time and
there's no obvious way how to get them back
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 6.1.4
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: e...@horse64.org
CC: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
The quick settings overlay that allows quick presets like disable internal
screen, disable external screen, mirror etc. with giant buttons only shows the
first time when plugging in an external screen, I assume when no settings are
known yet. This seems like a problem because e.g. when misclicking or simply
when wanting to use one of the other presets, there is seemingly no way
whatsoever to bring it back, and/or to wipe the old settings cleanly. The
popup should preferably show every time a screen connects even if it's a known
connection, or there should be some "Quick settings" button in the "Display &
Monitor" section of KDE System Settings, e.g. next to "Identify Screens", that
provides an obvious way to bring it up again.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Connect a new unknown screen
2. The quick settings popup will show with the 5'ish giant buttons for presets
3. Choose a preset
4. Disconnect screen
5. Reconnect screen to see popup again
OBSERVED RESULT
Popup doesn't show again for the easy presets, and there's no obvious button in
"Display & Monitor" in KDE system settings to bring it back either
EXPECTED RESULT
There is some obvious way to bring the presets popup with the easy default
configurations
