How do I get the preview pane in KMail to stay the same size? I can resize it, but whenever I restart the app, the preview pane is back to the default size.

Plasma 6 Release Candidate 1 has landed.

We are less than 50 days away from the final version of #Plasma6.

Along with Frameworks 6 and KDE Gear 24.02, the Megarelaease on the 28th of February will be one of the biggest and more complex upgrades in KDE's history.

One more RC will be released on the 31st of January and then it will be (hopefully) clear sailing until the final release.

Related to a previous post about Thunderbird collecting 6.4 million dollars in 2022 and KDE only 200k, I'm wondering why people do not donate or do not donate more to KDE.

What's holding you back?

Here's what I said in that thread

I donate periodically to KDE, but my major gripe is that I don’t know where the money is going. They have no financial reports that can be easily found, individual projects don’t have a donation button, there’s no public tracking of their income or expenditure like on opencollective, and it’s not easy to find KDE devs (aka who is actually on the KDE team) so that one could sponsor individual devs.

Although I trust KDE more than Mozilla (MZ pays their CEO 7 million/year and invests in anything but Firefox, their most known project), I would much much much rather prefer it to know where the money goes.

i was playing with pmos and plasma mobile yesterday.

i was wondering if plasma mobile could support the notch, some of the icons are hidden and unreachable :.)

Would it make sense to consider asking Tokodon to support connecting with Lemmy servers, or is there too big a difference between the APIs, requiring a separate application?

yeah i reported my first bug to #kde

I don't like that the KDE file transfer progress does not take in account the transfer from RAM to disk, and it only takes into account disk to RAM. I don't want to wait for the "Don't eject yet" message to disappear, because it sometimes stays too long, and I get worried if there could be an issue with KDE. How do I make:

1. KDE/Dolphin take into account RAM to disk in progress, or
2. Make KDE/Dolphin send files straight to disk, without sending to RAM.

This is what I get when selecting English as a language

I can't find KDE's financial report, but in a video I watched it was claimed that Thunderbird collected more donations than KDE. It seems quite hard to believe, but in 2022 Thunderbird collected more than 6,4 million dollars.

KDE is an entire desktop environment, with a bunch of applications and even partnerships that have yielded a KDE laptop. Should Thunderbird have been able to collect more money than KDE itself, there might be something that KDE can learn from Thunderbird.

Edit: Added the link to the video that I watched

Tok was the Kde telegram client but it seems that the development is stoped.

what had happened to it?

There's something I don't understand here: why when I do "Open Folder" and then save the session, closing it and opening it again I'm left with nothing?
Instead, if I open some files in subdirectories, the next time I reopen the session I'm just presented with the parent folders of those files, but I really needed to have the topmost directory to be able to access the whole tree structure whenever I reopen the session.

Is it possible? Or do I have to make a project?

I have to use macOS (10.14 IIRC) at school and I'm using Kate as my primary text editor. I'm using the latest release binary here.

Out of the box, three major features don't work. The debugger, the terminal and lsp. After messing around a little, I was able to get lsp working by installing llvm through homebrew for clangd and pointing the lsp config file to the proper location, because my homebrew prefix is the non-default ~/.brew/ due to a lack of admin privileges.

Terminal just crashes Kate the moment you try to open it and the macOS port of Konsole is extremely broken, so I'm not holding out much hope for that (and either way I'm happy with iTerm2), but I feel like there should be a way to get the debugger working. Basically the problem is that the debugger is built for gdb, but macOS ships with lldb. I tried installing gdb through homebrew, but couldn't figure out how to point the debugger to my homebrew prefix. Also looked like there was a way to add additional debuggers and I tried to add lldb that way, but couldn't figure it out either.

If someone has gotten this working, I'd love some help

Update: Made some progress. Found out how to get the debugger to use homebrew gdb. In advanced config, I just changed the command from gdb to ~/.brew/bin/gdb. It's still broken, tho. Won't let me select an executable to debug. I also have a clue on how one might get lldb working. Kate uses a dap standard similar to lsp for working with debuggers. lldb has a dap server called lldb-vscode, which is a part of llvm, which I already have installed. No clue how to work with the dap.json configuration to add it as an available debugger, tho. That's where I'm stuck, right now.

Update2: Got gdb working. Just had to use a full path, meaning /Users/lcouturi/.brew/bin/gdb instead of ~/.brew/bin/gdb
