This is nice to see that Breeze on KDE apps will be default on any desktop (if there is no Qt platform forcing a theme).
I always had issues with Qt theming being too global, so forcing Breeze on only KDE apps was not easy at all (and even more difficult with color-scheme).
Firefox and LibreOffice aren't part of KDE, but Kate and Okular are. So the fact only the former two support this feature indicates it's not from KDE. This should probably be supported by KDE though (or by Qt? perhaps this should be done on the toolkit level rather than on the application level). Holding ctrl to multi-select is standard behaviour in a lot of applications and is quite useful. For what it's worth, Krita does support this, but you need to hold shift instead of ctrl.
Are you talking about selecting multiple unconnected sections of text, so that they are highlighted at the same time? I think that's a Firefox feature.
Or are you talking about selecting something and then something else, so that only the last thing is highlighted, and finding both selections listed as separate items in KDE's clipboard manager?
Update: this was kinda driving me insane again and I was about to write a bug report, but thankfully I didn't have to, because I found out while I was writing and doing some digging, that an option for this exists already! (oopsie)
Go to:
Settings > Configure Kate > Projects > Session Behavior
And check the box for "Restore Open Projects" to enable it, now when you reopen a session that had a folder opened in it, the folder will show up once again in the Projects view.
I am making an assumption that you grew up with something like an iPad. This isn't your fault, you had no reason to learn it before. Now that you have a need to do these things, you figured it out by accident just through exposure.
I tried it out. I like the idea of the fully customizable UI. I can't seem to get it to import anything as a library and it constantly crashes after roughly 5-10 minutes, though. Am I missing something or doing something wrong, or is that the expected behavior at this point in development?
That is not expected behavior, no. How did you install it? Through a package? Or did you build from source?
There is currently problems with the way fooyin and fooyin-bin in the AUR are packaged which has been leading to crashes when trying to add tracks. I'm attempting to get that resolved.
Using an Ubuntu (22.04) based distro, I tried installing with the jammy .deb a couple times, which produced the constantly crashing result. I just built from source, which appears to have resolved the constant crashes, but I still can't add a library.
I found that all I needed to do to add a library was close the app and reopen after the first time opening the version built from source. Built myself a layout similar to the Obsidian preset. Really nice customizable player! I have two recommendations: have some way for the Library Filter widget to show individual tracks so you can add them to a playlist, and have some way to actually view and edit the Playback Queue. Other than that, this is a great player!
Hmm, I'm not seeing either of those issues. I have a 1.5TB library imported and have listened for many hours straight without a crash. Version 0.4.2 was just released today. Maybe give that a shot. https://github.com/ludouzi/fooyin/releases/tag/v0.4.2
I solved the issues yesterday by building from source, which solved the crashing issue (guessing a packaging issue with the .deb version is one problem) and then after one restart of the app I was able to add my library. Works fine now.
The Foo is obviously from Foobar. Google translate says "fuyin" is "copy" in Chinese, which I guess could make sense since it's a copy of foobar2000. It also says "fooyin" is "I'm sorry" in Somali, which is probably a coincidence because that makes no sense.
EDIT: One of the screenshots in the README is in Chinese so yeah that's probably it.
