18:e april, 2019.
The KDE community is happy to announce the release of KDE Applications 19.04.
Our community continuously works on improving the software included in our KDE Application series. Along with new features, we improve the design, usability and stability of all our utilities, games, and creativity tools. Our aim is to make your life easier by making KDE software more enjoyable to use. We hope you like all the new enhancements and bug fixes you’ll find in 19.04!
What’s new in KDE Applications 19.04
Mer än 150 fel har lösts. Rättningarna implementerar om inaktiverade funktioner, normaliserar genvägar och löser krascher, vilket gör KDE-program vänligare och låter dig bli mer produktiv.
Filhantering

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.
Nya funktioner:
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.
Felrättningar omfattar:
When using a modern version of the SMB protocol, you can now discover Samba shares for Mac and Linux machines.
Re-arranging items in the Places panel once again works properly when some items are hidden.
After opening a new tab in Dolphin, that new tab’s view now automatically gains keyboard focus.
Dolphin now warns you if you try to quit while the terminal panel is open with a program running in it.
We fixed many memory leaks, improving Dolphin’s overall performance.
The AudioCD-KIO allows other KDE applications to read audio from CDs and automatically convert it into other formats.
The AudioCD-KIO now supports ripping into Opus.
We made CD info text really transparent for viewing.
Videoredigering

This is a landmark version for KDE’s video editor. Kdenlive has gone through an extensive re-write of its core code as more than 60% of its internals has changed, improving its overall architecture.
Förbättringar omfattar:
- Tidslinjen har skrivits om för att utnyttja QML.
- När ett klipp läggs till på tidslinjen, hamnar ljud och video alltid i separata spår.
- Tidslinjen stöder nu tangentbordsnavigering: klipp, kompositioner och nyckelbilder kan flyttas med tangentbordet. Dessutom kan själva spårens höjd justeras.
- In this version of Kdenlive, the in-track audio recording comes with a new voice-over feature.
- Vi har förbättrat kopiera och klistra in: Det fungerar mellan olika projektfönster. Hantering av ersättningsklipp har också förbättrats, eftersom klipp nu kan tas bort individuellt.
- I version 19.04 har stöd för externa BlackMagic bildskärmar kommit tillbaka, och det finns också nya förinställningshjälplinjer för visning på bildskärmar.
- Vi har förbättrat hantering av nyckelbilder, vilket ger den ett mer konsekvent utseende och arbetsflöde. Titelverktyget har också förbättrats genom att låta justeringsknapparna låsas till säkra zoner, lägga till inställningshjälplinjer och bakgrundsfärger, och visa saknade objekt.
- Vi har rättat tidslinjens korruptionsfel som felplacerade eller missade klipp, vilken utlöstes när man flyttade en grupp av klipp.
- Vi rättade JPEG-felet som återgav bilder som vita skärmar på Windows. Vi har också rättat fel som påverkade tagning av skärmbilder på Windows.
- Förutom allt ovanstående har vi lagt till många små användarförbättringar som gör det enklare och smidigare att använda Kdenlive.
Kontor

Okular is KDE’s multipurpose document viewer. Ideal for reading and annotating PDFs, it can also open ODF files (as used by LibreOffice and OpenOffice), ebooks published as ePub files, most common comic book files, PostScript files, and many more.
Förbättringar omfattar:
- To help you ensure your documents are always a perfect fit, we’ve added scaling options to Okular’s Print dialog.
- Okular now supports viewing and verifying digital signatures in PDF files.
- Thanks to improved cross-application integration, Okular now supports editing LaTeX documents in TexStudio.
- Improved support for touchscreen navigation means you will be able to move backwards and forwards using a touchscreen when in Presentation mode.
- Users who prefer manipulating documents from the command-line will be able to perform smart text search with the new command-line flag that lets you open a document and highlight all occurrences of a given piece of text.
- Okular now properly displays links in Markdown documents that span more than one line.
- The trim tools have fancy new icons.

KMail is KDE’s privacy-protecting email client. Part of the Kontact groupware suite, KMail supports all email systems and allows you to organize your messages into a shared virtual inbox or into separate accounts (your choice). It supports all kinds of message encryption and signing, and lets you share data such as contacts, meeting dates, and travel information with other Kontact applications.

- We added new custom extractors for previously unsupported providers (e.g. BCD Travel, NH Group), and improved format/language variations of already supported providers (e.g. SNCF, Easyjet, Booking.com, Hertz).
Utveckling

Kate is KDE’s full-featured text editor, ideal for programming thanks to features such as tabs, split-view mode, syntax highlighting, a built-in terminal panel, word completion, regular expressions search and substitution, and many more via the flexible plugin infrastructure.

Förbättringar omfattar:
- Tab management has seen a number of improvements that will help you be more productive. New tabs can be created by middle-clicking on empty parts of the tab bar, and there’s also an option that allows you to close tabs by middle-clicking on them. Close buttons are displayed on tabs by default, and icons will be displayed only when using a profile with a custom icon. Last but not least, the Ctrl+Tab shortcut allows you to quickly switch between the current and previous tab.

Spectacle is Plasma’s screenshot application. You can grab full desktops spanning several screens, individual screens, windows, sections of windows, or custom regions using the rectangle selection feature.
Förbättringar omfattar:
- We have extended the Rectangular Region mode with a few new options. It can be configured to auto-accept the dragged box instead of asking you to adjust it first. There is also a new default option to remember the current rectangular region selection box, but only until the program is closed.
- You can configure what happens when the screenshot shortcut is pressed while Spectacle is already running.

Sprid budskapet
Icke-tekniska bidragsgivare är en viktig del av KDE:s framgång. Medan programvaruföretag med egenutvecklad programvara har enorma reklambudgetar för nya utgåvor, förlitar sig KDE på människor som pratar med andra människor. Även för de som inte är programvaruutvecklare, finns det många sätt att stödja utgivningen av KDE-program. Rapportera fel. Uppmuntra andra att gå med i KDE:s gemenskap, eller stöd den ideella organisationen bakom KDE:s gemenskap.
Sprid gärna budskapet på den sociala webben. Skicka in historier till nyhetsplatser, använd kanaler som delicious, digg, reddit och twitter.
