Testing
-------

Works, as long as the applet is not yet installed

1.) How can I properly check the install status? The docs just say "returns a KJob allowing to track installation progress". I don't see a way to check for "applet already installed" (should update existing one if newer?) or "installation failed". In the former case I just want to add the already installed applet

1a.) btw since we no longer have a tooltip in the widget explorer, there's no way to uninstall user-installed applets :/ Perhaps a delete button with undo like in the wallpaper selection should be added

2.) How can I get the pluginId of the applet? KPackage::metadata() is deprecated. Perhaps the KJob should be able to tell me eventually?

3.) How can I get the path to the installed package to get the info for 2.

4.) Not sure about linking KNotifications here

5.) I want an icon for the action :)

Please disregard the qDebug()s


Thanks,

Kai Uwe Broulik
