The KDE Project has released KDE Frameworks 6.16, marking the latest update in its series of over 70 libraries designed to enhance KDE applications and the KDE Plasma desktop environment. This release focuses on improving the system’s ability to identify the most powerful GPU for use with the enhanced feature “Run this program using the more powerful GPU.”
Among the notable enhancements in this release is the new sorting capability in open/save dialogs, which now allows users to see the most recently used files first. Additionally, KDE Frameworks 6.16 introduces inertial scrolling in all QtQuick-based KDE applications when using a touchpad, delivering a more fluid scrolling experience.
The update also addresses several bugs, including a long-standing issue in Dolphin, the file manager, that caused crashes when interacting with Samba shares. Other fixes include correcting the position of the menubar in the Merkuro calendar app, resolving a crash in the Plasma System Monitor when switching process views, and addressing a quirky issue that could unexpectedly close Open/Save dialogs when hovering the cursor over certain files.
Moreover, two significant issues in Kirigami-based applications that could trigger crashes during certain operations have been resolved, particularly when animations are disabled globally or when software rendering is utilized.
