Configuration paths for plasma

[seqizz]

Hi,

Sorry for the mixed-up issue, didn't know where to ask in the first place 😕

I've recently packaged a kwin script that I've been using for a while: NixOS/nixpkgs#74262

Problem is: There is a known issue about enabling configurations of kwin scripts, apparently plasma searches them in some specific directories.

I've installed this new package via home-manager and even though I can see the required file under ~/.nix-profile/share/kservices5 folder, the plugin still can't be configured.

My question is: How can I provide paths for /usr/share/kservices5 in the sense of conventional FS hierarchy via HM?

Hmm, /usr/share/kservices5 is quite impossible for HM to do but perhaps

xdg.dataFile.kservices5.source = "${config.home.path}/share/kservices5";

would work?

Yup, definitely worked, thanks as always :)
This should be in some documentation 👍
