Searching KDE Plasma 6 Launcher Widget

Dear friends,
after the update to Plasma 6, my launcher widget isn't compatible anymore. It was called Cool Popup Quicklaunch.

What I need is just a customizable icon inside the panel, when clicked, it'll open up a list with my pre-configured program list. I need that one at least twice, one for programs, one for games/emulation.

What I don't want to have inside is: all programs on the system, search functionality, power off/reset buttons, recent files, most used programs.

What I found is Simple Application Launcher, Application Launcher, Application Menu, but they all have too many non deactivatible functions.

I also want to avoid completely restructuring the entries in the KDE Menu Editor.

Help is highly appreciated.

Thank you.

Re: Searching KDE Plasma 6 Launcher Widget

Those being unoficial widgets (as in: being 3rd party and nort part of what KDE officially provides), it will take some time till they get updated for Plasma6 or till new solutions appear. Do check on the developer side though, many of widgets I used/use already are updated or being in the process of an update, devs will surely know more about the status and upcoming releases if there are some coming.

Re: Searching KDE Plasma 6 Launcher Widget

Thank you for your reply.

I guess I have to wait and see what will become available. I have no hope that the launcher I used to use will be updated, its been like 4+ years, so I rather adapt to something new.

Right now I created 12 little icons with my most used programs with the 'Quicklaunch' widget next to the 'Application Menu' and created two folders inside the 'KDE Menu Editor' with my applications / games. I think I'm happy with that for the moment.

Any other suggestions are welcome.
