The most notable innovations:
- In the file manager
Implemented display of thumbnails for files in 3MF (3D Manufacturing Format) format with models for 3D printing. Added the ability to preview thumbnails of files and directories located in encrypted file systems, such as Plasma Vault, while saving the cache of thumbnails directly inside the encrypted file system, and if this file system is not writable, then without saving the cached versions.
Changed the display of very long names. Instead of cutting out the middle
Dolphin now truncates the end of a long name, but retains the extension for easy identification of the file type. The location in the FS is saved when the file manager is closed and restored when opened (this behavior can be changed in the settings in the Startup section). Implemented displaying more understandable names of mounted remote partitions (FTP, SSH) and FUSE-based FS, instead of showing the full path. An item for mounting ISO images has been added to the context menu.Simplified installation of plugins, which can now be installed in the "Get new thing" window without manual manipulation and without adding to the list of services (Settings > Configure Dolphin > Services). A search function has been added to the page with a list of services. Added the ability to quickly copy or move selected files from one panel to another. The ability to calculate and display the size of catalogs in the block with detailed information (Details) is provided. In the information panel, the display of additional information about the basket has been added. Added a new "Copy Location" menu to place the current path on the clipboard.
- In the Konsole terminal emulator, the context menu now has the ability to copy the full path of the file or directory pointed to by the cursor to the clipboard. Added highlighting of new lines that appear when quickly scrolling through the content. Implemented thumbnail preview of images when moving the mouse cursor. In the context menu shown when hovering the mouse over a file name, it became possible to open this file in the selected application. When viewing in split screen mode, the titles of the displayed windows are separated. The ability to bind colored labels to tabs and track the activity of processes in tabs has been proposed. The inner cursor now changes its size depending on the selected font size.
- In the Yakuake terminal that pops up on the F12 key, work has been improved in Wayland-controlled configurations, the ability to configure all hot keys has been added, and the terminal launch indicator has been displayed in the system tray.
- The digiKam 7.0 photo management software has a completely redesigned face classification system for photos, which allows you to detect and recognize faces in photos, and automatically tag them accordingly. An overview of the changes can be found in a separate .
- In the Kate text editor, through the "Open Recent" menu, not only files recently opened through the file open dialog are shown, but also files transferred to kate from the command line and other sources. The layout of the tab bar has been brought in line with other KDE applications.
- In music player it became possible to display all genres, musicians or albums in the sidebar. The playlist now shows the progress of the current song in place. The top panel adapts to the size of the window and to the choice of portrait or landscape modes.
- In the astronomical application KStars 3.4.3, the calibration and focusing on the desired object has been improved.
- The remote desktop client KRDC, which allows you to view and control a desktop session from another device, correctly displays the cursor in VNC displayed on the server side, which solved the problems with showing a point with a flickering remote cursor.
- The Okular Document Viewer has fixed issues with the placement of Print and Print Preview items in the menu.
- The Gwenview image viewer has the ability to save the size of the last crop area to speed up cropping multiple generic images of the same size.
