With the new Plasma 6.2, I'm getting this error: Sorry! There was an error loading Catwalk. file:///home/michael/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.catwalk/contents/ui/main.qml:4:1: module "org.kde.plasma.private.timer" is not installed I'm running KDE neon. Is anyone else noticing this?

Good day. Please install kdeplasma-addons package and reboot.

XandarKablandar

Yes! That was it, thank you! 🙏

Fixed, please update.

Good afternoon. Thanks for your feedback. I know about this bug, it will be fixed in the next update.

There is a bug that causes text to be displayed in "icon only" mode.

9 Beautiful plasmoid, I just want to note that for me the percentage still displays even when i select the "character only" option.

Good afternoon. Thanks for your feedback! I am aware of this bug, it will be fixed in the next update.

This is awesome :D One suggestion: instead of the slow-motion running cat, there could be a walking animation that goes from slow to faster and then at some point gets replaced by the running animation.

This is darn cute. One suggestion, though. Please include some more options. Namely swapping the icon and text order. I hacked this one to do that because it works better for my panel. See example here: https://0x0.st/XHUw.png

driglu4it

Good idea. I'll try to add it in the next version.

10 The best. I hope that you will add the Arabic translation that I sent you in the next update!

driglu4it

Good day. Ready! Let's update!

Is there a bug tracker for this project? I'd rather not use comments here to report bugs, but there appears to be a serious issue whereby having the widget on your panel kills plasmashell when you move the panel to an adjacent screen edge. The Journal log is flooded with these warnings: Apr 25 08:48:56 plasmashell[13015]: file:///home/nate/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.catwalk/contents/ui/CompactRepresentation.qml:39:5: QML GridLayout: Layout polish loop detected for QQuickGridLayout(0x3f77300, id="grid", parent=0x3f61cb0, geometry=0,0 53064x42). Aborting after two iterations.

And please, give me you system info (minimal - distribution and version).

driglu4it

Hmm, thanks, I'll try to reproduce this bug and fix it. Yes, the bug tracker is only here, but you can also write to dr@i-glu4it.ru or @driglu4it (in Telegram).

10 This is the superior way to show CPU usage.

ngraham

10 Never thought I'd actually want to keep something like this on my panel, but it's just too cute to remove. Super simple and super effective.

kodehawa

10 Very cute plasmoid!

kodehawa

Please add an option to make the CPU display update slower

kodehawa

Just looked at RunCat and CPU usage seems to update every 1 second. The animation speed is continuous for that one second of no updates.

driglu4it

This will lose the whole meaning of the display idea (the cat will slow down).

kodehawa

Program uses way too much CPU at current update level (and not the cat moving, the system monitor is what's eating CPU). Adding an option to set how often we want to update it to use less CPU would be nice.
