systray icon missing for kde plasma

[Cherkah]

using it on kde plasma 6 for 2 days already, I recognize that Dialect is a very respectable app: simple, clean

1. the only thing missing is to minimizing the application in the systray in order to access it more easily !

2. and why not be able to launch it via a global shortcut in order to translate selected text Missing icon and name in top bar #57 ...

regards

PS: if I use dialect it is because the reference application on KDE (crow-translate) systematically gives me a crash problem even if it is ULTRA complete ... (is it because it is still in qt5?)

Sadly systray is out of scope IMO. Not a KDE user, but I guess that for easy access you can pin the app somewhere in your system.

and why not be able to launch it via a global shortcut in order to translate selected text

Global shortcuts are planed but stall on waiting GNOME to implement support for the org.freedesktop.portal.GlobalShortcuts. For now you can create a shortcut manually to launch Dialect with the --selection CLI option.

the cmd dialect --selection doesn't work:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/dialect/dialect/window.py", line 532, in on_paste
text = clipboard.read_text_finish(result)
gi.repository.GLib.GError: g-io-error-quark: Impossible de lire depuis un presse-papiers vide. (1)

the app is launched but without text ....

@Cherkah Hmm, I think you're hitting #407. We need to make a release with that fix.

i'll be waiting for it
