Plasma 6

[john-okeefe]

Is there an idea of when this will be ported to Plasma 6? I use swap windows all the time and am really missing it.

Unfortunately as of now there is no porting guide describing what needs to be changed to make KWin scripts work with Plasma 6, so it will take me some time to figure it out. Sorry about that. It is planned though.

I was reading below

https://discuss.kde.org/t/kwin-scripting-from-5-x-to-6-x-compatible/2905

And tried to make the function changes to the script myself. My issue is, while the install script reports all went well, it never actually shows in the Scripts dialogue in System Settings.

You mean you tried to do the necessary changes to my script? Could you publish the code so I can take a look?

Okay. I have created a pull request. https://github.com/nclarius/KWin-window-geometry-scripts/pull/5

When trying to install it does copy the folder over and edit the kwinrc file, however we get this error.

qt.dbus.integration: QDBusConnection: error: could not send signal to service "" path "/KPackage/" interface "org.kde.plasma.kpackage" member "packageInstalled": Invalid object path: /KPackage/

Maybe it's with the kpackagetool6 command. When I list-types it's a bit different.
