The new and very visually appealing dialog that let's you create new files and folder. Across the top, you have an icon of a purple folder and text box to write in the name of the folder you are about to create. Across the bottom a rainbow array of folder icons with different colours and designs. It is pretty!

"This Week in Plasma" brings the news that Plasma 6.4’s enters soft feature freeze, Dolphin and other KDE apps "New File" and "New Folder" dialogs get a visual overhaul, and that the file transfer process now inhibits suspend, among many other things.

I really love these update posts, thank you a lot!

The PR/ communication from the KDE team is absolutely great, and I can't wait til the new stuff will arrive on Fedora!

KDE is getting even better and better each update, it's amazing!
Thank you for your hard work! 💚

Hey, sorry for being out of the loop. Do we have an estimate for the 6.4 release?

Not sure if anyone uses the feature but I love being able to assign colors to files individually with that dot on macOS I’d life to see it in Plasma too

Yes. I'd love that. I'd like it even more if they went back to snow leopard style and color the entire line when in detail view.

I saw that MouseKeys for Wayland got merged. Is there any chance we can do more scriptable bindings in the future? I'd love to see things like "hitting 2 jumps to this x,y pair", "hitting 9 goes 75px down and 75px left", etc

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social How is KDE responding to this charge of abysmal accessibility support for people with limited vision fireborn.mataroa.blog/blog/i-w

That was a very informative read. Wish I has the coding skills to support!

Meet Ritchie Frodomar (scroll down), a legally blind developer who is in charge of bringing KDE's software up to shape on the accessibility front.

Do you know if the major issue with QTWebEngine will be fixed so that KMail/Kontact and Falkon will work again?

This is completely unrelated to the topic at hand and not a KDE issue, but... It has been solved: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-135786

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Just curious, does Windows suspend sleep while copying something?

Is it related to the OP at all?
I don't think so, but maybe...
