Plasma 6 Bugs

If you encounter a bug, proceed to https://bugs.kde.org, check whether it has been reported.

If it hasn't, report it yourself.

PLEASE THINK CAREFULLY BEFORE POSTING HERE.

Developers do not look for reports on social media, so they will not see it and all it does is clutter up the feed.

I hope this doesn't violate the low-quality rule. For those who don't know, when you right click an archive in Dolphin, the extract menu has a "Extract archive here, autodetect subfolder" option and its absolutely brilliant! If you've ever extracted a zip, tar, etc and ended up with files splattered everywhere this feature will prevent that. Basically when you choose this option it will:

  • Look to see if the archive has a top level folder, if it does, it will extract it normally
  • If it does not (so all of the files are at the top level), it will automatically create a folder for the archive and extract those top level files into it

It's something I really wish other file managers had, and is just another one of those features from the KDE team that gives me the "The developer(s) who created this also use this in their daily lives" impression (which is not to say that others don't). You can of course just open your favorite archive utility and manually check, then manually make the folder yourself and extract the files into there, but this lets me skip those couple of steps and I appreciate that so much.

It is a very simple program that allows you to have a quick overview of the contents of some files.

The program requires some python libraries and I have made a list of those needed for some distributions. they are generally always the same, just the names change a little.

I can't really find any information on where one would submit a feature request for KDE products -- it seems wrong, to me, to submit them to the bugtracker.

I found this Reddit thread that seems to say that there isn't one, but that post is, as of writing this, 6 years old, so I'm wondering if anything has changed since then?
