KUnifiedPush: KDE's efficient way of delivering notifications to your apps KUnifiedPush, KDE's client library for the UnifiedPush protocol, has reached version 1.0.0. KUnifiedPush provides a way to deliver notifications instantly to multiple apps on your devices even if the apps are not running. Ideal for social media, weather and instant messaging apps, it will also contribute to improving the battery life on your mobile devices.

Hi, Who's right and what to do ? Thanks
I have a use case where I would like to play games on the TV in my living room. For this I have purchased a HDMI KVM Extender which allows me to have an HDMI signal connected to my TV. This is working great, but the only problem is that i would like to disable the other outputs when I am not using them, mostly for ease-of-use with windows not opening on the monitors in the office while I am in the TV Room. I have tried using kscreen-doctor with the command "kscreen-doctor output.HDMI-A-1.disable" which works, but wreaks havoc on the display configuration in KDE Plasma on my desktop. One solution I have found is to simply pull out the display connectors that I don't need on the PC, which works as intended. Only problem is that its a bit brute force. I had hoped to find something with similar functionality but controlled from the system. IE. a script, shortcut or similar. Asking here in hopes that someone can suggest a way to get this to work! System info: * Operating System: Fedora Linux 40 * KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.4 * KDE Frameworks Version: 6.5.0 * Qt Version: 6.7.2 * Kernel Version: 6.10.8-200.fc40.x86_64 (64-bit) * Graphics Platform: Wayland * Processors: 24 × AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 12-Core Processor * Memory: 31.3 GiB of RAM * Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX EDIT: OMG, this solution was so simple, but completely just worked. Just mirrored the main display and fixed individual refresh rates, even works when turning the extender on and off. Major thanks to @pandapoo for the idea

Hi there - I'm currently using Gnome and wanted to try out plasma (been many years since using kde). Gnome has a certain 'way' you must go along with, and I wanted flexibility. I was struck by the limited number of supported online account types (especially Microsoft 365) that are supported by gnome but not kde. Is this something that is likely to improve going forward?

Hey hey! Looks like [@kde](https://lemmy.kde.social/c/kde) Neon has been rebased to 24.04 aka Noble. I started the upgrade right away. The upgrade script crashed halfway because of some problem with apt configuration (probably my fault) but I cleared the error and finished it by hand with "apt dist-upgrade". Reboot, ok. I only had to purge all that snap+apparmor nonsense that was preventing thunderbird from opening web links and crashing [@Vivaldi](https://social.vivaldi.net/@Vivaldi) browser. I really do not understand the point of apparmor outside of server world. How can you be so arrogant to think you'll be able to predict all the possible uses of a consumer software, and decide that it is ok to cause all the other uses to fail with only a cryptic error message buried in the system logs?

I ended my last post by saying that the next version is coming soon, well here we are 3 months later (better late than never) and I am happy to announce that KleverNotes v1.1 is finally out. ## What's new? ### New parser The previous parser was a C++ reimplementation of marked.js that I made to easily integrate my plugins and extensions. While it was great for that aspect, I will be the first to admit that it was far from perfect and required a lot of maintenance. For this reason, I decided to switch to a proper Markdown parser, in the form of [md4qt](https://invent.kde.org/imironchik/md4qt): > md4qt is a header-only C++ library for Markdown parsing. > > md4qt supports CommonMark 0.31.2 Spec and some GitHub extensions, such as tables, footnotes, to-do lists, strikethrough, LaTeX math injections, GitHub autolinks. It's fast, reliable, customizable and easy to use. A perfect combination! ### Better toolbar and editor With this new parser, it is possible to know exactly where the Markdown tags are in the text. Thanks to this, and the new access to the underlying text document, the toolbar is more precise in removing specific tags but also in applying them. In addition, the toolbar now tells you which tags are already applied on the text under the cursor or the selected text.  The editor has also gained some small bonuses. Tabbing/untabbing blocks and auto-adding list items are now more reliable, but you now also have the ability to add an HTML line break (`<br>`) before a new line with `Shift + Enter` or a horizontal rule using `Alt + Enter`. ### Optimization 🚀 - Parsing is now done on a separate thread, so parsing very large notes should still be smooth! - Rendering is now disabled if preview is disabled, saving resources! - Using the toolbar will now add or delete text in a single undo block, no more double/triple `Ctrl+Z` to go back to your previous state. 😆 ### WYSIWYG-like editor Now the big news, you read it correctly! Again, thanks in large part to the new parser, the editor now has the ability to be "WYSIWYG", bold text will be bold, highlighted text will be highlighted, etc... By default, Markdown tags will be 50% smaller than the rest of the text, this can of course be changed in the settings, a value of 1% makes them practically invisible. These tags will revert to their normal size depending on the position of the cursor/selected text, this way you can see which tag is responsible for a style. Give credit where credit is due, this way of doing things was inspired by [Marktext](https://github.com/marktext/marktext), it brings the best of both worlds. However, this does not mean that the preview will be removed anytime soon, it is still in my opinion the best way to view Markdown, and if you don't like it, as you already know, you can disable it. 😉  ## Special Thanks I would like to thank Igor Mironchik, the creator of `md4qt`. I contacted him to ask if he could help me integrate his parser into KleverNotes, and he not only helped me do it, but also listened to my requests throughout the process and added features to make my life easier. Credit where credit is due, the main part of the syntax highlighter belongs to him as well, although he gave me full copyright on it, all I did was customize it to fit my vision, it would have been much harder for me without his help! Finally, thanks to his years of experience, he taught me a lot about C++ and software development in general, and continues to do so today. I really grew up working with him and I can't thank him enough for that. I clearly made a good choice in asking him for this collaboration and I sincerely hope that it will continue. 🙂 ## md4qt and markdown-tools As I said: > `md4qt` is fast, reliable, customizable and easy to use. And it is now part of the KDE Incubator program! So if anyone wants to try it or needs a good Markdown parser to work with Qt, feel free! Igor also uses it for some pretty cool personal projects, check out [Markdown-tools](https://github.com/igormironchik/markdown-tools) it's worth a try! 😄 ## Final note I'm back at school and my schedule is busier than last year, this will obviously impact development. However, this doesn't mean I'm abandoning the project, things will just move a bit slower. The next release should overhaul the way the sidebar works, and I'll start working on it soon. 😉 I'm currently publishing this version on flathub, you should (hopefully) be able to get it soon! ------ As always, feel free to tell me what you think of the app, I'm always happy to hear criticism, good or bad, as long as it's productive.

Is there an equivalent to Google Drive in Windows for KDE? I'm talking full synchronization of my Google Drive files into a local folder. I know there's the KDE KIO Worker that can integrate with Dolphin, but according to [itsfoss.com](https://itsfoss.com/use-google-drive-linux/): > Each time you try to modify a file, it is copied to a local cache directory. Once you finish modifying a file, it prompts for uploading the modified file to GDrive. There's RClone that can do that I think, but I'm not certain. And it looks a bit complicated to set up. What are you recommendations?

I'm using Fedora Kinoite and there's this little issue that has been bugging me to no end, whenever I want to see what updates have been found for my apps and their changelogs I start scrolling there, but every few seconds, say 20, the page will refresh and look for updates again, so it interrupts my reading and resets the scrolling position I was at, so I have to wait there to finish refreshing, jump to where I was and speed-read that piece of text before it refreshes once again and I'm thrown back to square one. I was wondering if there is any setting to control how often Discover auto-refreshes, maybe set it to only manually refresh instead, but there doesn't seem to be anything in the Settings tab. Is there a solution or is this a bug?
