"This Week in Plasma" brings the news that Plasma 6.4’s enters soft feature freeze, Dolphin and other KDE apps "New File" and "New Folder" dialogs get a visual overhaul, and that the file transfer process now inhibits suspend, among many other things.

I really love these update posts, thank you a lot!
The PR/ communication from the KDE team is absolutely great, and I can't wait til the new stuff will arrive on Fedora!
KDE is getting even better and better each update, it's amazing! Thank you for your hard work! 💚

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social it's nice to see folders colors included in Plasma 6.4

Hey, sorry for being out of the loop. Do we have an estimate for the 6.4 release?
- Have a look at the roadmap
  
  many thanks!

Not sure if anyone uses the feature but I love being able to assign colors to files individually with that dot on macOS I’d life to see it in Plasma too
- Yes. I'd love that. I'd like it even more if they went back to snow leopard style and color the entire line when in detail view.

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social How is KDE responding to this charge of abysmal accessibility support for people with limited vision https://fireborn.mataroa.blog/blog/i-want-to-love-linux-it-doesnt-love-me-back-post-1-built-for-control-but-not-for-people/
- Meet Ritchie Frodomar (scroll down), a legally blind developer who is in charge of bringing KDE's software up to shape on the accessibility front.
- That was a very informative read. Wish I has the coding skills to support!

I saw that MouseKeys for Wayland got merged. Is there any chance we can do more scriptable bindings in the future? I'd love to see things like "hitting 2 jumps to this x,y pair", "hitting 9 goes 75px down and 75px left", etc

If it has a name, would it be Barney or Thanos?
- Grimace

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Just curious, does Windows suspend sleep while copying something?
- @fell @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social
  Is it related to the OP at all?
  I don't think so, but maybe...

Do you know if the major issue with QTWebEngine will be fixed so that KMail/Kontact and Falkon will work again?
- This is completely unrelated to the topic at hand and not a KDE issue, but... It has been solved: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-135786
