Kubuntu 17.04 / Plasma 5.9.4

Code is here

I'm trying to create a fileviewer widget, and I've managed to get something that works.

Code: Select all

qmlscene -I . main.qml

makes it come up in a window.

When I run plasmapkg, it looks like it works, and the widget appears in the menu, but when I try and put it on the desktop, nothing happens.

Code: Select all

$ plasmapkg --install plasmoid/
plasmapkg(1326)/libplasma Plasma::Package::installPackage: Could not register package as service (this is not necessarily fatal): "plasma-applet-org.rthompson.fileview"
Successfully installed /home/ross/Documents/fileview/plasmoid

Code: Select all

$ plasmapkg2 --install plasmoid/
pluginname:  "org.rthompson.fileview"
Generated  "/home/ross/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids//kpluginindex.json"  ( 2  plugins)
Successfully installed /home/ross/Documents/fileview/plasmoid


I've tried building it with qmake and cmake, and it doesn't work, but I can't see anything that looks like an error in the logs. Can anyone help me out? Thanks.
