I can't make a screenshot for the settings app .desktop outside plasma (I use plasma, and there's so many different environments that may handle the exact display of .desktop files differently).
Involves string changes, so not for 24.08.
Let me know if you want the commits autosquashed.
kcm: improve description field in json
The kcm json currently lists the description as "Connect and sync your
devices". This is hard to distinguish from the KDE Connect application
at a glance, and does not follow the general pattern in kcm descriptions
to use either a configuration-based verb or noun (e.g. configure, edit,
settings).
This change sets the description to "Configure device synchronization".
BUG: 466256
plasmoid: improve description field in json
The plasmoid currently has the decription "Show notifications from your
devices using KDE Connect. This is wordy and misleading as
the plasmoid does much more than display notifications; it's used to
show the devices and their current state (e.g. battery) and provides
access to some of the broader KDE Connect functionality, such as the
find device function or file sharing.
This change sets the description to "Show and control devices".
settings: improve .desktop GenericName and Comment
The .desktop file for the non-Plasma settings app currently has a
sentence as the GenericName, which is supposed to be the term of a
class of applications, and does not have a Comment field, which is
suitable for descriptions in the form of a sentence.
This change sets the GenericName to "Device Synchronization Settings",
and adds a Domment field that matches the description for the kcm.
smsapp: improve .desktop GenericName and Description
The KDE Connect SMS app currently has the GenericName "SMS" which is the
name of a protocol, not the name for a class of applications, and the
Comment "Text Messaging", which is correct but very short for a field
that is intended to give a short but more exhaustive description of an
application's functions.
This change sets the GenericName To "Text Messaging" and the Comment to
"Read and send SMS messages on connected devices".
