Hi,
As Christoph said the issue is not about getting applications to the store.
In KDE4 days we basically had everything KDE offered available for download.
Maybe 10% of that stuff was usable.
An important step we mention in the Phabricator ticket regarding the
publishing is:
- some testing has been done
Someone, ideally someone who knows the applications ins and outs, has to
test the app on Windows.
Additionally the team behind that application should have a strong
commitment to support Windows
and fix the bugs that definitely will be reported for Windows.
Providing builds on binary factory is a service we provide to the KDE
community,
but "it compiles on Windows" != "it works as intended and is fully
supported on Windows".
In my opinion stuff we promote in the store should be pretty stable and
well supported.
So no point in flooding the store....
Cheers,
Hannah

I think providing an official app as KDE would be the best
counter-move we can do.
If nobody here wants to do it voluntarily, we can pay someone to do
it. This might be a cool project for a junior developer, and it will
be a small sum of money for KDE.
Hi,
I think paying somebody for that is not helpful.
The real work is not to submit something once, but to keep
it up-to-date.
At the moment that works with the few applications we have "a bit",
it will not help to push more stuff if there are no active
community members that keep care of them later.

I have small question. I would like be able to have a the
self-installer version include a shell-extention. This not

required for app and obviously not something the windows store

Hi,
I must confess, I myself don't know how to do that either.
I CC kde-windows@kde.org

Hi,
having the binary-factory.kde.org [1] [1] variant in the store
would
be great,
if you can help with this, e.g. submission howto is on
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://kate-editor.org/post/2019/2019-11-03-windows-store-submission-guide/__;!!KGKeukY!iN9roMebYPHG-dboAdrZ-SkxXv193HEjvkdBufSaLcXaCUhT_iHm9U8QaT0E84DGbQ$
I can help with filling the stuff, if you provide a tested
installer.

Should I ask for account access?
The binary for 1.8.3 is here
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://download.kde.org/stable/kdiff3/__;!!KGKeukY!iN9roMebYPHG-dboAdrZ-SkxXv193HEjvkdBufSaLcXaCUhT_iHm9U8QaT2Qec3vMg$
kdiff3-1.8.3-windows-64.exe.mirrorlist.
I will always publish new binaries to download.kde.org [2] [2].
There
is also
an OS X
package but I don't have a 64-bit Apple machine to test it on.
Hi,
I think it would make sense to ask for account access.
Beside that, for the store one needs the appx from the
binary-factory,
not the self installer.
Greetings
Christoph
