The most noticeable innovations:
- Dolphin file manager is given the ability to sort files according to their extensions, which, for example, simplifies the deletion of certain types of files from lists of recent documents and dialogue for working with files.
- Elisa musical player has a full support for sensory screens. The elements in the lists are made higher and comfortable to press fingers on sensory screens. The touch to the composition in the list now leads to its reproduction, and not the allocation. The possibility of navigation on the side panel with a list of reproduction using keyboard combinations was returned. The option has been added to turn off the scanning of the music collection when starting and using the button for manual scan starting when necessary. Added a mode of sorting of compositions by time of change (for example, for the output up of recently added compositions).
The root catalog is now set as a basic catalog in the file navigation mode, which simplifies the file access to the files not in the home directory. - in Kwrite, a simple text editor for quick editing of the text, support support for tabs is added and the window separation mode is implemented, which allows you to simultaneously view different documents.
- In the KATE text editor, which is mainly focused on writing and editing the code developers, a shows of the default toolbar of tools are provided. The menu has regrouping and a new section “Selection” with actions on the selected blocks.
- In the text editors of Kate and Kwrite, it became possible to display several independent cursors and simultaneously input text or code into different parts of the document.
