I guess what the page author meant was that it can be used for the same effect, i.e. conditional visibility. But I agree that it isn't phrased very well. What you could try is to use a shell script instead of the command in ShowIfTrue. In this script you can then log to a file and thus see if the script is called, which parameters it gets, etc. Cheers, Kevin -- Kevin Krammer, KDE developer, xdg-utils developer KDE user support, developer mentoring
