This week in KDE apps: we added the final touches to our applications for the KDE Gear ⚙️ 24.12.0, released KPhotoAlbum and KGeoTag, now based on Qt6; improved Itinerary's ticket extractor; and continued our work on Karp, KDE's new PDF editor.

Remember: you too can contribute to keeping KDE's projects going by adopting an app at our fundraiser:

This Week in Plasma brings oodles of features to your desktop.

Among many other things, you can now clone panels with all their features, the custom tiling system remembers tile arrangement per virtual desktop and acquires support for switching windows from tile to tile using keyboard shortcuts, and you can now limit the upper and lower ranges for tablet pen pressure.

"HOWTO help a KDE Goal" part 1: "We care about your Input"

"We care about your Input" plans to increase the number of supported input devices for Plasma and KDE apps. The aim is to offer the possibility to use assistive devices, gaming controllers of all kinds, and devices for specialised tasks.

You can help by funding developers with their research,

https://kde.org/fundraisers/yearend2024/

and by joining the team, giving feedback, and assisting with the development.

ISO Image Writer, Partition Manager, SkanPage and System Monitor added to the list of adoptable apps.

If using the command line to burn disk images makes you nervous, ISO Image Writer is your friend!

Likewise, creating and modifying partitions can be scary, so why not use KDE's friendly Partition Manager?

Plasma Mobile works quite well:

https://plasma-mobile.org/

In other news, many of KDE's apps are convergent, meaning they work both on desktops and mobile platforms.

@kde@lemmy.kde.social

There are still many apps to be adopted: LabPlot, a very powerful data analysis and visualization suite has all its slots open; as does AudioTube, a useful app that lets you easily find and play music from YouTube.
