Plasma 6 support
As of Plasma 6 all themes are now handled as kpackage, which means that a manifest.json file is required.
This PR ports the metadata.desktop files to metadata.json. This supports both Plasma 5 and Plasma 6.
FYI: this PR is backported in Fedora 40.
The switch.svg widget is broken in Plasma 6, and I don't know how to fix it, so I removed it. It falls back to the default widget which looks fine.
There are a few more metadata.desktop files, do they not need conversion too?
Was just experimenting converting them locally with desktoptojson
I don't think so, at least not for plasma theming. Please point me to the relevant documentation (if it exists...), and I'll be happy to migrate them.
A plain .desktop to .json is not recommended, as there are the packaging format changes, not just the file format.
Converted the wallpapers as well. Otherwise they wouldn't show up in the wallpaper view.
I believe @ItachiSan was right, and everything needs to be converted. There are still a few .desktop files left, but I haven't encountered them yet. If anyone knows where the issue occurs, please let me know where so that I can port and test it!
