Hi Vishesh & all,
I agree that it makes more sense to place it with the desktop stuff.
Maybe we had application = file in mind? The only argument against
desktop behavior is that this topic gets somewhat bulky. And I'm not
sure that users will associate all the modules including file search
with the caption. For balancing we should consider to split the topic
perhaps like this
Application Features
* Accessibility
* File Search
* Activities
Desktop Behavior
* Global Workspace Options
* Desktop Effects
* Screen Edges
* Virtual Desktops
What do you think?
Maybe we are too stuck with the general category labels. You can always
change that to one that is more inclusive and less specific. I would
suggest Desktop Settings, rather than Behavior, because that word seems
to exclude other kcms that could well fit the category.
Cheers,
Heiko.

Hey guys.
I don't understand why "File Search" (formerly Desktop Search)
should go under Applications.
Current application which can be used to search for files - Dolphin.
Current workspace stuff which can be used to search - KRunner,
Milou, Kickoff and Kicker.
It seems rather odd for it to be under applications. Could someone
please elaborate on the rationale behind it? I've tried reading the
forums, but I haven't really found much.

Hey,
So as the subject suggests, I've just landed the new
categorization for
systemsettings. Changes are all over the place, so if you just
update single
repositories, your systemsettings will be quite empty. If you're
re-running
kdesrc-build, you'll find a mess with old and new categorized
intermixed (is
"intermixed" a word? If not, we should make it one.)
A clean installation will give you the desired results, but you
can also just
delete all categories before running kdesrc-build:
rm `kf5-config --prefix`/share/kservices5/settings*
(Use at your own risk.)
After that, running kde-src build should get you into the new
systemsettings
state. If you notice anything strange, please refer to this
thread and discuss
your issues there:

If you notice that I did something wrong when turning the huge
graphic into
changes to .desktop files, please let me know, and I'll fix it.
Special thanks goes to our interaction and visual designers who
did the
research for this new categorization. I personally think it's a big
improvement.
Going forward, there's a lot of work ahead, and this is only the
beginning. We
need to overhaul KCMs, we need to simplify settings, modernize
UIs, and we
will likely also introduce a new shell (which we can do
gradually with the
different view plugins in systemsettings). For an experiment,
try the
sebas/quick branch in systemsettings. This new categorization is
only the
first step, and we decided to push this into 5.0, since it's a
user-visible
change, and we can keep things rather more stable from here on out.
Cheers,
