            Bug ID: 523868
           Summary: Option to remove "New" label from newly installed
                    application without running it
    Classification: Plasma
           Product: plasmashell
      Version First 6.7.3
       Reported In:
          Platform: Arch Linux
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Application Launcher (Kickoff) widget
          Assignee: [email protected]

  Target Milestone: 1.0

The Kickoff Application Launcher shows a "New" label next to newly installed
applications by default. This behaviour can be toggled via Application Laun=
cher
Settings > General > Highlight newly-installed applications, but currently =
the
only way to dismiss this label for a given application is to launch it from=
 the
menu.

In some cases, the application is one I am not likely to actually launch fr=
om
the menu right away (e.g. cmake-gui), but I would rather not hide it
completely. In these instances, it would be nice to have a context menu opt=
ion
or similar to make the "New" label go away. Perhaps there could also be an
option to unmark all applications in a given category, or every category.
