It does? Multiple desktops and activities or something else? (Link doesn't load)

Nah, if you just put the file lower than the lowest part of the grid, it just snaps below that to create a NEW column and turns into a scroll-able, I accidentally did this and now Im in love with it lol

In the video: I had 2 files, I proceeded to then use the middle scroll to then scroll to another file at the very bottom of the desktop, and I was able to just scroll up and down like it was a window, not sure if its a bug, but I do NOT want it fixed lol

Thanks.

Works with my plasma6, too. It feels a bit like unintended behaviour. πŸ™‚

It does because it doesnt feel intentional how it starts a new column, but I love it still. [It should just be a feature with starting columns easier]

heres a video that actually demonstrates it [a link that should work this time]: https://drive.proton.me/urls/X7G17QTQMM#103bZU9qTjSe

I'm 100% confused on what's going on here! πŸ˜‚

The desktop is scrolling. Like a webpage.

[–] penquin@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

Wtf, it does I just tried it. Lmao. This is good to hide shit.

[–] testeronious@lemmy.eco.br 5 points 1 month ago

[–] superkret@feddit.org 4 points 1 month ago

Peak KDE moment. It has so many options most will never use.

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago

Holy moley this has blown up 😭

My desktop is hidden by all the open apps all the time. Sure you can get there via the file manager, but it's just another folder. And sure you can deliberately minimise all the apps. But the content is, by default hidden, and not in your face, to be stumbled upon like an inbox. Desktops can only contain closed files, and are a flaw in the UX logic.

@ian @tekKUh
What's a Desktop?
Never use it mine is completely empty, no files, no launcher, panels (3) all autohide

Workspaces are my jam 3-6 depending on machine & distro
A self imposed organizational scheme of what goes where
If it all goes wrong banging the cursor in the top left tiles...

[–] westyvw@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No flaw. But KDE has a method for users like you (and me) that prefer our desktops empty. I forget what it's called but you can set your desktop to have no icons and no folders.

[–] ian@feddit.uk 1 points 1 month ago

Yes. I use that option. But as I rarely see the desktop, hiding any files or folders makes little difference to using Plasma.

[–] tekKUh@lemmy.kde.social 1 points 1 month ago

No clue what you just said but ok πŸ‘

[–] tekKUh@lemmy.kde.social 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)
