Improving #KDE in ease of use and productivity (part 51)

The KDE community is improving basic aspects of different parts of the desktop and applications to polish errors and improve applications. This is a weekly review of some of those tasks.

As you could already read in another blog article part of the KDE community is immersed in the arduous and extensive task of polishing and improving certain aspects of the Plasma desktop and KDE applications.

You can read all the articles that I have translated in this link:

• Usability and productivity in KDE

One more week Nate Graham brings to our blog the news of week 52 in terms of improvements, corrections of small and large errors and new options:

In this article I translate, once again, the article by Nate Graham to spread what KDE will bring us. We started …

Bug fixes

• When using the KDE file dialog from a GTK application using the XDG portal, the "automatically select extension" option will no longer add strange text to the end of the file name (Jan Grulich, KDE Plasma 5.14.5)
• KWin will no longer fail when the composition is disabled often when a video game is launched (Vlad Zagorodniy, KDE Plasma 5.15.0) [19659014] The lists of items that can not be clicked with the mouse in the Discover task view will no longer have the inappropriate appearance that can be clicked on (Aleix Pol Gonzalez, KDE Plasma 5.15.0)
• Changed the order in which the "Most Downloaded" dialog of "Get new material" is presented which produces more relevant results because it takes into account current events. (Björn Feber, KDE Frameworks 5.54)
• Solved one of the ways that Dolphin failed when a folder was renamed (Jaime Torres Amate, KDE Applications 19.04.0)
• When using the option of Konsole "Enable the scrolling of the buffer in an alternative screen" to allow using the scroll wheel or the two fingers of the TouchPad in programs like less now the behavior keeps working even after using the command reset (Ahmad Samir, KDE Applications 18.12.1)

Polishing the interface and improvements

• When choosing a new wallpaper using the "Add image" button, it is now possible add multiple images at once (Nate Graham, KDE Plasma 5.15.0)
• Python files bytecode now have their own icons (Rafael Brandmaier, KDE Frameworks 5.54):

• The Konsole tabs now only display icons on the tabs when using a profile that has a custom icon (Nate Graham, KDE Applications 19.04.0):

• Kate now has an entry in the menu to enable or disable the line setting of static words so it can be activated or not in each open document without having to change the global setting (Loh Tar, KDE Applications 19.04.0):

All this and much more in Plasma and KDE What do you think?
