Hi Yuen,<br>I see your last commit about the possibilty to show and edit manually the \
metadata.desktop file.<br>In my opinion this is a bad thing, because we don't \
have to forget that our target are beginner developers, so we have to hide all the \
implementation details that are not directly involved on the programming side.<br>
By the way, this is only my opinion; maybe send an email at plasma-devel and hear \
from their opinion =)<br>Have a nice day,<br><br>Cheers !!<br> \
