I looked at KWin::Window on the Kwin scripting API page but didn’t find any ways to make a given window become maximized.

I did some looking and there doesn't seem to be one, unless you know of any. Ideally I want a modal file manager like Yazi: it's keys are highly inspired by vim with H J K L navigation (H & L for traversing directories), a visual mode for selecting files, and lots of commands and customization. The one thing its missing is a grid view to preview image files. None of the orthodox file manager seem to have one, including Krusader which I just looked at. I'd love to finally stop using the mouse for file management and could go with either a TUI or GUI manager.

Edit: I edited the script to take a screenshot asynchronously, get the region with slurp, and use magickto crop it. I also multiply the values from slurp 2x to account for the 200% display scaling I have.

  #!/bin/bash 

    die(){
    notify-send "$1"
    exit 1
  }
  cleanup(){
    [[ -n $1 ]] && rm -r "$1"
  }
  SCR_IMG=$(mktemp -d) || die "failed to take screenshot"
  trap "cleanup '$SCR_IMG'" EXIT

    spectacle -nbo "$SCR_IMG/scr.tiff" &
    region=($(slurp -b "#00000000" -c "#80808080" -w 2 -f "%w %h %x %y"))
    for i in "${!region[@]}" 
    do
        region[i]=$(expr ${region[i]} "*" "2")
    done
    magick "$SCR_IMG/scr.tiff" -crop "${region[0]}x${region[1]}+${region[2]}+${region[3]}" "$SCR_IMG/scr.tiff" 

    tesseract "$SCR_IMG/scr.tiff" "$SCR_IMG/scr" &> /dev/null || die "failed to extract text"
  wl-copy < "$SCR_IMG/scr.txt" || die "failed to copy text to clipboard"
  notify-send "Text extracted from image" "$(head -c 100 "$SCR_IMG/scr.txt")" || die "failed to send notification"
  exit

  

Edit: I got answers on the Fedora forum and used this command in my parallels VM and restarted: sudo grubby --update-kernel=ALL --args=video=Virtual-1:3456x2234@120.

I'm trying to get a custom resolution & refresh rate in KDE Wayland. I can get 120hz working on X11 by getting a modeline with cvt 4112 2572 120 and using xrandr commands, but how about Wayland? Perhaps be done with kscreen-doctor?

Something is wrong with Baloo 6.5.0 under KDE Plasma (Arch). I observe an extremely high CPU utilization of the baloofileextractors process. Can anyone confirm this or have other hints?

Hi all,

I'm running Linux Mint 21.3 with KDE Plasma 5.27. I wanted to try the new Plasma 6 and followed the instructions on distrobox's site using the fedora rawhide as well as KDE Neon user images. The Desktop runs fine in a Wayland compositor window on my 5.27 X11 session but if I create a . desktop file in /use/share/wayland-sessions as suggested in the blogpost, I am unable to have it launch. It shows me a black screen, then puts me back to lightdm.

I've tried also to include the dbus-run-session command in the.desktop file.

Can anyone help me?

Hello everyone, I am using digiKam and want to selecte image to delete via the dupicate search functionality. How do I select the duplicates I want to remove? the remove duplicate button on the left only deletes all of them. I’d like an option to delete specifik images only. selection one image and pressing delete seem to not move them to trash. right-click and slecting "move to trash" is rather tedious. I am sure there is a better way.

If the docs cointain the answer, I cant find it

"With this blog I would like to introduce KRdp, which is a new library implementing the required glue to create a server exposing a KDE Plasma Wayland session over the RDP protocol. It also contains a command-line based server which will allow remote clients to control the current Plasma Wayland session."
