It doesn't affect the toplevel, it only affects sub models created within it.</p>
<p>If we used AppsModel directly to fix the original bug, we would need to fix AppsModel to follow m_flat when showing an empty m_entryPath</p>
<p>So in addition to a property for entry path we would add something like:</p>
<div class="remarkup-code-block" style="margin: 12px 0;" data-code-lang="text" data-sigil="remarkup-code-block"><pre class="remarkup-code" style="font: 11px/15px "Menlo", "Consolas", "Monaco", monospace; padding: 12px; margin: 0; background: rgba(71, 87, 120, 0.08);">AppsModel.cpp:481
- if (m_entryPath.isEmpty())
+ if (m_entryPath.isEmpty() && !m_flat) {
(bringing us into the else path that uses processServiceGroup which follows m_flat)</pre></div>
<p>Which fixes the bug giving us a flat AppsModel. But it now that introduces a regression into the dash that's currently in kdeplasma-addons.</p>
<p>We're now implicitly affecting the RootModel top level to be flat, meaning the sidebar on the right hand side now lists every application not just groups - which obviously isn't OK.</p>
<p>We would need to introduce a property "flatButForRealThisTime" property on AppsModel which IMHO is going in a messy direction compared to only affecting allModel.</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R119 Plasma Desktop</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D22762">https://phabricator.kde.org/D22762</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>tcanabrava, davidedmundson, hein<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>hein, plasma-devel, LeGast00n, jraleigh, fbampaloukas, GB_2, ragreen, Pitel, ZrenBot, himcesjf, lesliezhai, ali-mohamed, jensreuterberg, abetts, sebas, apol, mart<br /></div>
