I agree. I will update the diff tomorrow with the new button if we all agre=
e with the new button.

I guess it would be a good idea to add an action in the toolbar. What do yo=
u think?

>Also, it would make sense to add an action andshortcut for installation to=
 the toolbar above.
Which shortcut do you want?

I would prefer to use the plasmapkg and not cmake.
Everyone is using plasmapkg and it is safer (from the POV of a future bug i=
n cmake) due to the fact the more developers use it.

In the same part, there&#39;s an interaction problem, however:
Assumption: installing an app is quite a common thing during development (correct me \
if you think otherwise) Right now, there is no button to trigger installation with \
the currently selected mode, so one has to switch the combo to empty, then to the \
preferred installation method. A button &quot;Install!&quot; would fix that. Also, \
doing the installtion when the combobox changes is quite uncommon, as it is not \
explicit that the installation actually already happens when you choose something. \
This should move into a button, which can conveniently go right next to the combo, \
and then the combo changed to not install on indexChanged. Also, it would make sense \
to add an action andshortcut for installation to the toolbar above.

This is not an issue with this patch, just how we should improve that part of the UI. \
I used it for a development task yesterday, and this installatio workflow issue \
struck me as overly complex and &quot;have to learn it&quot; rather than \
&quot;understand it without thinking&quot;. </pre>

those are some issues which plasmate&#39;s publisher has

problem 1: the publisher&#39;s combobox wasn&#39;t aware for the right slot. When \

that. problem 2: publisher&#39;s cmake process was trying to install a \

3: when the cmake slot is called, cmake creates the known temporary files in \
