Bug description

The sync overlay icons present in Dolphin prior to Plasma 6 upgrade are no longer present immediately after upgrading to Plasma 6.
Could be related to the need to port nexcloud-client to QT6/KF6, but I don't know. This seems to be taken care of here, but it does not show any overlay icons.
...

Steps to reproduce

1. Run Plasma 5 to see the sync overlay icons
2. Upgrade to Plasma 6 and reboot
3. Overlay icons no longer present
   ...

Expected behavior

Sync overlay icons should remain.
...

Same behaviour on Opensuse Tumbleweed also.

Not only are there no icons in overlay but nothing in the integration works. Arch Linux developers could not compile the client with KF6 https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/nextcloud-client/-/issues/3#note_174553

Could you help them (and us as users)?

[FGD-Garuda]

According to

gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/nextcloud-client/-/issues/3#note_174553

some newer than 3.12.x version would be compatible?

As @FGD-Garuda already said, I bet it requires the ability to build the client with Qt 6. This is WIP, hopefully done soon. Not sure if it'd be possible to 'just' do it only for the integration, though, maybe it is possible to build the dolphin plugin for both Qt6 and Qt5 without building the entire client with Qt 6.

I'm secretly hoping that one of the developers (most are KDE or GNOME users) will be motivated to do it soon as they are likely going to get Plasma 6 on their work stations soon ;-)

if only everyone was running OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, and thus already on Plasma 6 🙈

it seems they are working on it :-) https://github.com/nextcloud/desktop/blob/feature/qt6/shell_integration/dolphin/CMakeLists.txt Il giorno gio 4 apr 2024 alle ore 15:30 Jos Poortvliet < ***@***.***> ha scritto:

This is fixed with 3.13.0.

Still does not seem to be working with 3.13 (at least not in fedora). I have no dolphin integration whatsoever. Anyone else experiencing this?

[alerque]

@avatar1024 That looks like a packaging issue, the Fedora packages look like they are still built with Qt5. They need to be updated to use Qt6 for this to work. Please report that to the appropriate upstream packaging bug tracker. I'm not a Fedora user and not sure, but it might be here: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/nextcloud-client

[avatar1024]

Thank you! I'll flag it up!

[avatar1024]

I've checked and it seems like the deb version in Ubuntu is also built with Qt5. Is there a known issue regarding packaging it with Qt6? Has it been done anywhere?

[alerque]

Um, something else is up. I remembered wrong, check the issue history for the Arch Linux package. This came up there at some point and I thought we fixed it with qt6 (or maybe just saw that it was being worked on upstream?).

[avatar1024]

Not sure how to check the history but there again it is built with Qt5 https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/nextcloud-client/

Opensuse at least seems to build it with QT6 for the dolphin plugin https://build.opensuse.org/projects/network/packages/nextcloud-desktop/files/nextcloud-desktop.spec?expand=1

I have the same issue, none of the integrations work for my Fedora Kinoite (KDE 6).

I have enquired here and here but no responses so far.

It's now working with a new package:

Is there a way to install this very package?
I still get old package when using 'dnf install nextcloud-client'

The packages do not seem to have found their way into the repo yet but you can download the rpm files from koji: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=2531674
