Patched KDE Dolphin with Pixel Scaling https://fiftyfourth.xyz/git/dolphin/atom?h=pixelated-scaling-option 2026-01-10T15:14:26Z 2026-01-10T15:14:26Z Friedrich W. H.

Using it for any pointers instead can be misleading due to the "Out of memory" log printed in case of hits. 2025-11-12T14:54:30Z Nate Graham nate@kde.org 2025-11-11T17:47:26Z urn:sha1:7419cd326902c64b69802ab3f01656076d3c7a97 This reverts commit 122fee5625f0285ec4ebda79162c72390989eb2a. This behavior change was well-intentioned, but has significant usability and speed drawbacks that have not been addressed: - Keyboard-driven folder manipulation became slower - Unexpected behavioral differences when opening files with the pointer compared to when opening them with the keyboard introduced inconsistency and cognitive load - Unexpected opening of selection mode during fast operation introduced the potential for confusion and additional errors - Dolphin's behavior became inconsistent with that of other file managers users may be accustomed to The bug tracker, discuss.kde.org, and Reddit are full of complaints about this change. It's been a year now; I think it's clear that many Dolphin users have not gotten used to and accepted it. I have to count myself as one of them, I'm afraid. I've tried to get used to it for a year, but I just have not been able to. I don't believe the benefits of this change outweigh the drawbacks, so let's revert it. 24d859cf19e90fa22ed687b36a68231625c1bd80 was explicitly mentioned as a thing that should also be reverted in this case, but it's already been done.

After renaming the child folder from the right view: - The activated view should not switch to the left view. - All tab titles should be updated.

It reverts to the previous view mode when we switch to a directory which doesn't meet that criteria. The view mode is only changed once so users don't have to undo that for specific folders when they don't want icon view. A setting is added in the "Display style" section of the general view setting page.

It implements most of the improved Dolphin search UI/UX as designed and discussed in a collaborative effort by Kristen McWilliam, Jin Liu, Andy Betts, Tagwerk, a few others and me. See https://invent.kde.org/system/dolphin/-/issues/46. # Notable changes - A toggle to change the search tool is provided as most contributors deemed that useful in https://invent.kde.org/system/dolphin/-/merge_requests/642#note_985112. - The default search is changed to filenamesearch for maximum reliability. - Removing all search parameters will take users back to the view state prior to starting a search instead of keeping the search results open. - The UI for choosing file types or modification dates has been made more powerful with more granularity and more options. - Most search parameters can be configured from a popup menu which gives us extra space for extra clarity. - Labels and help buttons as well as hyperlinks to settings makes sure the user always knows why some search parameters are unavailable in some contexts. - Chips show important search parameters while the popup is closed. They allow quickly removing filters. - The titles of the search and the input field placeholder message change to make clear whether file names or file contents are searched. - When the user actively switches the search tool, whether content should be searched, or whether to search everywhere, this is preserved for the initial state of the search bar when the user opens it the next time after restarting Dolphin. # Architecture - The new DolphinQuery class is independent of the UI and contains all search parameters modifiable in Dolphin as easy setters and getters. - DolphinQuery objects are also used to update the states of every component in the search UI. There is now a clear separation of UI and search configuration/DolphinQuery. - DolphinQuery is responsible for exporting to and importing from search URLs. - The search UI always reflects the currently configured DolphinQuery no matter if the user changed the UI to change the DolphinQuery or loaded a DolphinQuery/older search URL which then is reflected in the UI. - I tried to simplify all classes and their interaction between each other as much as possible. - I added some tests BUG: 386754 CCBUG: 435119 CCBUG: 458761 BUG: 446387 BUG: 470136 CCBUG: 471556 CCBUG: 475439 CCBUG: 477969 BUG: 480001 BUG: 483578 BUG: 488047 BUG: 488845 BUG: 500103 FIXED-IN: 25.08
