plasmaengineexplorer [KDE Generic Options] [Qt Generic Options]

plasmaengineexplorer is a graphical tool allowing developers to test Plasma data engines without writing a Plasma applet​.

If no options are given, it will start without any data engine selected​. The required data engine can be selected from a drop-down list​.

Only installed data engines will be found​. kbuildsycoca4 may need to be run for newly-installed data engines to be found​.

-v,  --version

Displays version information​.

-h,  --help

Displays this help​.

--list pixels

Displays a list of known engines and their descriptions​.

--height

Sets the height of the window, in pixels​.

--width pixels

Sets the width of the window, in pixels​.

-x pixels

Sets the x (horizontal) co-ordinate of the top left corner of the window, in pixels​.

-y pixels

Sets the y (vertical) co-ordinate of the top left corner of the window, in pixels​.

--engine data engine

Start plasmaengineexplorer with the given data engine selected​. data engine is the internal name of the data engine given by the X-KDE-PluginInfo-Name key of the desktop file​.

--source data engine

Only valid in conjunction with --engine​. Requests a specific source from the data engine when plasmaengineexplorer is started​.

--interval time

Sets the default update interval for requested sources to time milliseconds​. If not set, the source will update on demand (for some sources, this will be when new data is available)​.

If --source is specified, this is the update interval that will be used when requesting that source​.

--app application

Only show engines associated with the parent application; maps to the X-KDE-ParentApp entry in the DataEngine's ​.desktop file​.

More detailed user documentation is available from help:/plasma-desktop (either enter this URL into Konqueror, or run khelpcenter help:/plasma-desktop)​.

Load the time data engine, showing the local time and updating every second:

plasmaengineexplorer --engine time --source Local --interval 1000
