I still think we have a lot of rough edges on non X11/Wayland Unices, but great to see our work is appreciated.
Thanks, we still need more people to make Kate (and other KDE parts) work even better on Windows!
Thanks a lot!
Over 20 years of bug squashing for Kate & KDE
The open source project I work on for the longest time is KDE and there more specific Kate. This means I look at user bug reports for over 20 years now. The statistics tell me our team got more than 9000 bugs since around 2001 (just for Kate, this excludes the libraries like KTextEditor that we main...
I just looked at our GitLab page today and thought: Amazing! I thank you all for the great contributions of the last years. Let's hope we see even more contributions in the future. If you are unsure how to contribute, just take a look at the existing merged stuff as reference.
Nice :) In my new post I did try the current KF5 Kate on Haiku, too, works. https://cullmann.io/posts/kde-applications-and-icons/
KDE Applications and Icons – Current state and how to improve outside of Plasma
In this rather lengthy post I talk a bit about the current issues with icons for the KDE applications I work on or use. Let’s start with looking at what I mean with KDE applications and what the current state is, up to KDE Frameworks 6.
KDE applications have some issues with their icons outside of Plasma. This post shows the current state and what can be done to improve it.
Yeah, just because the api is not perfect, to just not support it, is no solution. With that argument you can just skip most interop api, as they all have pain points.
The Adwaita Icon Theme no longer follows the FDO icon naming spec breaking KDE applications on Fedora 40 Workstation and Co.
How it shall look… # Linux & BSDs # Windows # macOS # State on Fedora 40 Workstation & XFCE Spin… # Screenshots taken from the GNOME bugtracker, copies to not stall their GitLab instance.
The Adwaita Icon Theme no longer follows the FDO icon naming spec breaking KDE applications on Fedora 40 Workstation and Co. See the concrete state of the issue in the linked article.
It is not just available, both for Windows and macOS we try to get it to a good state and fix bugs. If that slowdown is reproducible, that should be fixed. But to do that, we would need more info, best would be to get some profile data for it.
Unix like systems with X11 or Wayland All Unix like systems with either X11 or Wayland are well supported since ever. Linux with X11 and now Wayland is for a long time the primary system on that Kate work happens. Over the years it was, like most of the KDE applications, ported to various BSD varian...
