What's new in KDE Applications 19.04
Зафиксировано более 150 исправлений, в числе которых — добавление ранее утерянных функций, нормализация комбинаций клавиш, исправление сбоев, повышение продуктивности при работе с приложениями.
Управление файлами
Dolphin is KDE's file manager. It also connects to network services, such as SSH, FTP, and Samba servers, and comes with advanced tools to find and organize your data.
Новые возможности:
- We have expanded thumbnail support, so Dolphin can now display thumbnails for several new file types: Microsoft Office files, .epub and .fb2 eBook files, Blender files, and PCX files. Additionally, thumbnails for text files now show syntax highlighting for the text inside the thumbnail.
- You can now choose which split view pane to close when clicking the 'Close split' button.
- This version of Dolphin introduces smarter tab placement. When you open a folder in a new tab, the new tab will now be placed immediately to the right of the current one, instead of always at the end of the tab bar.
- Tagging items is now much more practical, as tags can be added or removed using the context menu.
- We have improved the default sorting parameters for some commonly-used folders. By default, the Downloads folder is now sorted by date with grouping enabled, and the Recent Documents view (accessible by navigating to recentdocuments:/) is sorted by date with a list view selected.
