KDE Shelf widget & applications:/ kio-slave

I can't get the applications kio-slave to work with the Shelf widget.

Reproduction steps:

1. Add a shelf widget somewhere

2. Go to Shelf Settings | Add... | Applications Category

3. Select any folder / sub-folder | OK (Notice here the path is applications:/<whatever folder you selected>)

Result:
The shelf is blank

I believe the Shelf widget is a part of Lancelot launcher... It simply displays a blank shelf. Other kio-slaves

Some infos:

>pacman -Q | grep lancelot
kdeplasma-addons-applets-lancelot 4.14.3-3
>pacman -Q | grep kdelibs
kdelibs 4.14.4-1
>pacman -Q | grep kio    
kdesdk-kioslaves 14.12.1-1
kio 5.6.0-1

Anyone experiencing the same issue? This works on OpenSUSE 13.1 for me. The applications:/ kio-slave also seems to work in dolphin and folder view...

Looks like you're on to something... I accidentally allowed pacman to upgrade some of my KDE apps to the Kf5 versions... I'll replace them sometime after work and see what this affects.

Re: KDE Shelf widget & applications:/ kio-slave

I stand corrected...

Kf5 apps seem to be part of the kde-meta packages now. Thus this is now a standard installation of kde-meta, even with the Kf5 components.

Still looking for confirmation that someone is experiencing the same issues...
