Developers do not look for reports on social media, so they will not see it and all it does is clutter up the feed.

OK I did not know the desktop could do that, that's actually pretty cool. I assumed you were talking about virtual desktops but I didn't realise the icon space on the desktop can spill of screen and then be scrolled.

That's actually pretty useful - could keep some less used links of screen until you want and scroll them back into view

Huh, interesting. I had no idea. Though for the most part I've generally come to enjoy the default of generally having no icons on the desktop anymore. All that sort of stuff relegated to a dodging panel.

But that's also part of why I love KDE and plasma. And use it as my preferred desktop over gnome. The configurability.

It lets you do so many obscure things and I love it. You get treated like you are fully in charge.

[–] _cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago

Because you are fully in charge.

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™‚

[–] tekKUh@lemmy.kde.social 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

Oh wow. I would have never know since i never put stuff on the desktop permanently, only temporary files.

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

everyone’s files on the desktop are temporary

it just takes some of us a little longer to get to all of them

[–] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 2 points 2 years ago

I just never put anything on it anymore.

[–] tekKUh@lemmy.kde.social 2 points 2 years ago

Made me cry -1 tears [jk pls dont shoot me]

[–] superkret@feddit.org 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] testeronious@lemmy.eco.br 1 points 2 years ago

wtf I've been using this for more than 2 years

[–] emax_gomax@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

DYK you can roll the scroll wheel while having the desktop selected to move through virtual desktops.

Bro I could have the entire world map on my desktop made up on icons and you wouldn't notice, isn't that fun? 😭

[–] benvars@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I just learnt something

[–] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

[–] penquin@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] _cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The desktop is scrolling. Like a webpage.

[–] penquin@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] ian@feddit.uk -1 points 2 years ago

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.
