KDE

Searched for a few weeks and could not find any solid solution. Found a KDE thread that said it was a issue with flatpak but I don't even have flatpak installed. Others say it's Wayland, Do non KDE users on wayland get this too?

I know it's for security but it's too damned annoying to be worth it! Should I setup a tiling WM and be done with it? It really is that bad.

All I want to do is play Skyrim without seeing this every 15 minutes!

Running Fedora KDE, I've got two monitors side by side. If I move the mouse slowly from one to the other, it seems to catch on the edge between. It makes interacting with things near the edges of the monitor a pain in the ass, if I overshoot with a large gesture to move the mouse to that region and then some unseen force prevents me from precisely moving the mouse back.

I can't find anything in the settings menu that sounds like it would turn this off. How do I turn this off? It needs to be turned off. I intensely hate it.

Full house tonight at the #Kdenlive Café!

Thanks to all who joined, see you next time.

A next version of @kde@floss.social Plasma is just around the corner and it will come loaded with new features for drawing tablets and improved #wayland support. Shout-out to @redstrate for making it happen as part of their work on the We Care About Your Input - #KDE Goals project.

There is even a website with the current status and planned goodies.

The next major release of Kdenlive brings a 300% performance boost for generating audio thumbnails, along with higher-resolution waveforms for greater precision and a refactored sampling method that accurately renders the audio signal. This remarkable work was done by @etiandre and was made possible thanks to your generous contributions to our fundraiser campaign.

Currently coping from being busy doing everything and also not anything :(

But I am drawing them, since its taking so long, here's a compressed sketch so far, thoughts?

Are you a #filmmaker using #kdenlive? Let us know about your project!

Regardless of whether you are working on making shorts with your mates, features or corporate ads, online or TV shows or music videos, we want to see and promote them all!

We are building a showreel made up of clips from projects edited with Kdenlive. We aim to encourage more artists to move beyond expensive, closed systems to a free way of making movies.

Help us help the next generation of filmmakers! #videoediting @kde

Both Mastodon & Bluesky suggest that you add alt text to images to improve accessibility for the visually impaired
The text is not retained

How can I add alt text to my image files, ideally when I import the files ? Tags I make with Dolphin or Digikam aren't visible except where they're made

Thought I'd ask here before I start submitting feature requests

I'm using KDE Connect to share between an iPhone and a machine running Ubuntu 22.04. For the most part, it works as expected, but clipboard sharing only happens one way.

The problem seems to be that whenever a connection is established between the phone and PC, the phone's clipboard is automatically overwritten with whatever is on the PC's clipboard. If I navigate away from the KDE Connect app to another app to copy some content, the connection is lost. When I navigate back to the app, the connection is re-established, but the iPhone clipboard is again overwritten by the PC.

I'm not sure how to work around this problem. Any advice from the community would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,

When pressing Super-E when Dolphin is already open, I would like for the existing window to be unminimized and for a new tab to be created, rather than a new window.

How to do this ?

Thanks

Hello everyone!

I have the events from Nextcloud show up in the calendar, and that all works fine, but every update (at least I think it's due to updates) it all gets deselected and I have to tick the boxes again for events to show up.

I wouldn't mind even a hacky solution like a cron job to run at every boot or something like that - but I don't know where calendar settings are stored/configured.

Any help/advice is welcome!
Thanks!
