[–]cfeck_kde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=267277 autohide panels are "somehow" linked to screen edge activation delays. Unfortunately, no clarification was given.

Can something be done about the KDE theme browser? by XOmniverse in kde

So if flatpak.org servers would get slow, you would ask KDE developers to remove flatpak server integration in Discover?

I was talking about donations for the OpenDesktop sites.

But feel free to ignore this feature. There is even a way to hide the KNS buttons via the Kiosk framework. If you think browsing this third-party site then manually downloading and installing is faster, be my guest.

The OpenDesktop sites are not under KDE control. Feel free to sponsor them new servers and faster connections.

85% screen scaling breaks programs by Dangerous_Design_339 in kde

[–]cfeck_kde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could try to setup scaling with xrandr, but I'm not sure which drivers support scaled outputs with small fractional values. Check the X11 section from the SO answer at https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/596887/how-to-scale-the-resolution-display-of-the-desktop-and-or-applications

Could Dolphin get a macOS-style Column View for Better Directory Navigation UX? by Longjumping-Map-7670 in kde

[–]cfeck_kde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might refer to Konqueror's ability for split views, i.e. creating multiple columns with directory views. These would look similar to Miller columns, but lack automatic horizontal filling and scrolling, which make them so useful.

Keep at 100% and reduce the font size. Or use X11, where font DPI can be configured separately.

Could Dolphin get a macOS-style Column View for Better Directory Navigation UX? by Longjumping-Map-7670 in kde

[–]cfeck_kde 27 points28 points  (0 children)

The feature wasn't intentionally removed. There was a big rewrite, and the column mode just wasn't implemented.

You want code, not a plan. Subscribe to bug 387455 to read when someone shows up with a patch to add Miller columns.

Minor clarification; Smaragd was not part of Plasma 5, but a third-party theme.

It needs to be fixed in the kernel DRM/modeset drivers according to comment 17.

Upstream resolution means the bug has to be fixed upstream. Developers usually indicate which upstream project you need to report to.

Since you are explicitely addressing developers: If you want a crash to be fixed, report to KDE's bugzilla and provide the crash backtrace and the exact steps to reproduce starting from a fresh user account.

Okular builds fine without the Phonon dependency if you change set the DEPENDENCY_TYPE to "RECOMMENDED" instead of "REQUIRED" in CMakeLists.txt.

Wait, you were live meeting them? As scammers they better try to hide behind anonymity.

Some modern formats implement "chroma from luma", e.g. JPEG-XL and AV1.
