plasmaengineexplorer - Provides direct access to plasma data engines
Contents
Description
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.
Examples
Load the time data engine, showing the local time and updating every second:

--enginedataengine
Start plasmaengineexplorer with the given data engine selected. dataengine is the internal name of
the data engine given by the X-KDE-PluginInfo-Name key of the desktop file.
--sourcedataengine
Only valid in conjunction with --engine. Requests a specific source from the data engine when
plasmaengineexplorer is started.
--intervaltime
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.
--appapplication
Only show engines associated with the parent application; maps to the X-KDE-ParentApp entry in the
DataEngine's .desktop file.
