Exclude plugins

I also use XFCE (I love it, despite my Qt patriotism). The thing is, these additions are usually not installed as a part of Plasma (as far as I know), they need to have been deliberately installed OR with something like Kate/KWrite/Okteta as a runtime dependency.
-
Anyway, I think the only way to inhibit the display of these widgets is to uninstall them. It sounds stupid, but Qt Creator assumes you've installed them on purpose, so from their point of view it would make way less sense to have them not appear by default.

It's true!
I had not seen that the Fedora QT Designer is v4
So it is not possible in any way to specify which plugins you install and which you don't?
QT Creator has the option to disable plugins in About Plugins but QT Designers only shows the ones it has found -
That's where my mind first went too, but they aren't actually plugins for Qt Creator, just modules installed for Qt with their own respective packaging. There very well may be a setting to prevent their appearance that I don't know about, but removing them altogether is the only solution I know about.

Are you using your own Qt libraries or relying on the distribution's bundle?
The secret to not seeing the KDE plugins is not to use a Qt library set that includes them. This does not require removing them from the system location (which may break your desktop), but rather selecting a different Qt bundle.
The distro will probably have a qt.conf file that points to the system location for plugins. In that location you will find the KDE installed plugins that both implement the widgets and the glue that makes them visible in Designer. For example, my Ubuntu has
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/qt.confwhich points to/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins. If I launch the system Qt Designer (/usr/bin/designer), it loads the system Qt libraries and qt.conf and sees the system's plugins location with all the KDE plugins for Designer.If I launch the Qt Designer from an independent Qt library set (
/home/chrisw/Qt/5.15.0/gcc_64/bin/designerfrom the official binary installer) then it loads Qt libraries from that bundle, along with a qt.conf that does not see the system plugins and therefore does not see the KDE plugins.You may also be able to achieve this with some qt.conf magic of your own, but I have not put the effort in to work that one out.

I've downloaded qt designer and compiled without problems with qt-creator.
I need to exclude all KF5 to be loaded and shown in widgets box.
How can I do that?@sushisan said in Exclude plugins:

Why? Simply don't use them...

As I have been watching other programs do the same (for example Eagle for electronic design)
I will try that alternative -

My intention is to use the QT designer for LVGL
