[enhancement] + button pop-up menu options are too closely packed/small

The menu that pops up when we press the + button has its options too closely packed resulting in miss selection in a hurry. Is it possible to allow us to change its spacing/font size? Or is it part of any other general UI option?

[enhancement] Load comments collapsed but visible

Currently when I select load comments as collapsed option, it is total collapse 😁 but what I want is the top level comment to be visible with the child collapsed. I feel the present behaviour is probably redundant.

"Automatically expand comments" is the option I am referring to.

Any simple spreadsheet app for Android?

I just need one that can add up few items for eg. daily expenses etc. And should pop-up keyboard automatically as soon as I touch a cell.

No need for complex formula support or fancy graphics. Single sheet is also OK.

Edit: I am looking for something like this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.thinctank.cellcalc

This one doesn't popup keyboard so needs two touches to enter data. And I do not know how to access stored data!

Why won't messaging apps let me save content easily?
  • Suppose I want to keep a backup and decide later what I want to discard, I will have to keep on doing it manually each time to update the archive.

    WhatsApp did it properly before where I could easily backup the whole directory which included all media and chat database locally. But now they are forcing Google backups which I do not like. I was looking for alternatives but they all seem to need this kind of manual saves. Eg. Signal, Twin Me, and the recently tried Jami.

  • Why won't messaging apps let me save content easily?

    Taking example of Signal, I need to save each and every image manually to be me available outside its sandbox. Why is it like that rather than making it easy for me to use things that have been explicitly sent to me?

    I have used another messaging app called Twin Me which also does something similar.

    I always used WhatsApp earlier that allowed me access to the media downloaded in chats and let me take local backups but unfortunately they now allow only Google backups!

    Why is this empty?

    I thought this community would be teeming with posts but it appears empty to me. Why?

    Messaging app that stores downloaded media in user accessible place?

    Most of the messaging apps are "secure" hence save their data, downloads in locked space. They do allow one to save a particular image or file anywhere but it is a manual process not practical if I want to access all images I received in the last 5 years.

    WhatsApp has been good for me in this regard because it saves them in a user accessible directory. But recently WhatsApp has made it impossible to use offline as backup because it refuses to read from it in a new phone. Only Google Drive backup is allowed.

    Is there any other app which allows storage in a user accessible location?

    [Distro] How to access all packages in Fedora KDE?

    Fedora KDE version does not seem to have all packages available through Discover.

    How can I see all software from Fedora repos?

    KDE Neon ISO but set up already for development?

    I am just a regular Linux user with a bit of additional interest in customizing. I can install things from the store, change settings in the GUI comfortably etc.

    Occassionally there are things I am looking for are not available already but could be with few simple tweaks. For eg. right now I am looking for an analog clock widget different from the standard one already available. I need to reduce its size and/or change its background.

    I believe this could be done by changing the clock source and building a new clock.

    Currently I am not knowledgeable enough to do that and also with insufficient free time to learn everything. I would try if there is a standard pre-built ISO configured to this need with all tools pre-installed.

    Is there such an option available?

    Are offline updates going to be the future?

    I use PCLinuxOS as my primary Linux OS. They are a bit conservative to adapt new updates until they are sure of stability because of rolling nature. KDE is still at 5 there. Heard about Neon and wanted to try KDE 6. I find that they have adopted Windows style approach to updates where we need to reboot to apply the updates and we cannot do anything on the system while the updates are processing. Recently managed to install Fedora because I heard that their EFI is secured or something and can survive clobbering by Windows updates in a dual boot setup. But they also seem to have gone with offline updates.

    Are offline updates necessary due to them using SystemD or is the Linux world in general moving in this direction?

    [Bug] Share as file not working for images

    I am not getting anything on selecting share as file for images. If I select download, it just says operation completed successfully but I don't know where it went actually.

    Why do I lose my Linux entries from UEFI boot?

    I dual boot Windows 10 and Linux. Whnever Windows freezes or boot gets interrupted etc. I lose access to Linux because UEFI offers only Windows as boot options. On checking EFI partition still has rEFInd and PCLinuxOS entries needed.

    I wonder why it cannot see them?

    Strangely sparse clock widget choices

    In the KDE store I find only one analog clock widget with day or night colour theme choices. There is one other strange steampunk or something such clock design.

    Is it very difficult to design such widgets or nobody uses an analog clock?

    Can I without knowledge of programming take the existing clock (called Community Design) and modify it easily? If yes, what is the method?

    FEATURE REQUEST - Image share enhancement

    Presently when we open an image we get 2 options at the top. Either download or share. Share produces a link to share the image.

    Can we have options to (a) share the link (b) share the image itself (c) share both? I am not sure if the last one is even possible!

    Dark mode comment chain clarity

    In the dark mode comment chain indentation is not quickly obvious. Can you please either increase indentation or make the left comment marker lighter?

    Edit: Fixed by the dev with an option in settings to change comment bar width.

    Bulk delete SMS matching search string

    I am looking for a way to delete 1000s of SMS from my service provider pertaining to calls with zero charge. However there will also be some important messages from the same sender. So I cannot delete the whole conversation.

    The best option I have seen so far is SMS Organiser but it limits me to only 25 messages at a time.

    Is there any other SMS app that can let me do this in one go?

    Clicking YouTube links in WhatsApp opens in strange minimised player mode

    Earlier it used to be thus for random links but almost any YouTube link in WhatsApp if clicked leads to the playback happening in a small minimised window at the bottom with the main window almost blank under it. I can pull the video up to the top where it will play in portrait mode but won't rotate to landscape. No comment section seen. !YouTube links open in minimised fashion

    [feature request] Re-hide viewed NSFW pictures

    NSFW pictures are by default hidden/blurred for me now. In case I take a peek at one, then there seems to be no option to make it hidden again to prevent accidental embarassment. May be there is a way to do it in future?
