Do you have any screenshots to see how it works?

cc @flathub/kde

it this extension point even a thing?

[tsdgeos]

I heavily dislike how this is called org.kde.* given it's not software coming from kde.org

[hfiguiere]

isn't there an extension point for these in the KDE runtime (I didn't look)? For extensions there is no choice of id.

Answering my question

[Extension org.kde.WaylandDecoration]
directory=share/runtime/lib/plugins/
no-autodownload=true
subdirectories=true
add-ld-path=lib
download-if=on-xdg-desktop-GNOME;on-xdg-desktop-GNOME-classic
merge-dirs=wayland-decoration-client
version=5.15-23.08

So yes.

That's how extension points work in Flatpak. It's named by the where it is defined in, in this case the KDE runtime. These two aren't official KDE software either https://github.com/flathub/org.kde.WaylandDecoration.QGnomePlatform-decoration https://github.com/flathub/org.kde.WaylandDecoration.QAdwaitaDecorations

There won't be any way to verify extensions and verification info is hidden on the website for extensions.

It looks like this.

This seems like something flatpak should fix then :D

So how does one figure out if an extension is from a trusted source or from a w4NaB3Hack3r?

I just remembered that the org.gtk.Gtk3theme extension point does not match the ID prefix of the parent runtime. It's defined in freedesktop SDK and the gnome runtime none of which is org.gtk.

I guess you can define an extension point org.kdethirdpary.Plugin extension point in the KDE runtime for third party to consume.

You have to use a domain KDE owns in some way, otherwise random people can use it to verify.

The current org.kde.WaylandDecoration extension point can be removed when Qt 6.8 runtime is out, because as far as I know the plugin was upstreamed to Qt. Or even if it's not we can restrict submission to official KDE extensions only.

So how does one figure out if an extension is from a trusted source or from a w4NaB3Hack3r?

There isn't a good way, we hide it because it's un-verifiable and showing the yellow badge creates an expectation that it has to be verified.

[tsdgeos]

There isn't a good way

That is a sad thing.

[bbhtt]

The question is will KDE runtime provide such an extension point for third party developers or shall we go on with this one?

[tsdgeos]

I've no idea, I'm not the person to decide that and I guess that should be discussed over at https://invent.kde.org/packaging/flatpak-kde-runtime or at the matrix channel and not here to have a proper group discussion.

[hfiguiere]

This is the commit that introduced them.

Can you retarget 6.8 runtime and use the org.inqlude.WaylandDecoration? This was specifically introduced for third party developers and the org.kde.WaylandDecoration. was removed.
