I have 20'000 mostly mp4 or webm files
I used a naming scheme that has the last two digits signifying different criteria about the video
example joe 24070, joe 24050, joe 24051
joe 24051 is a revised edit of joe 24050
The first in the series of joe is joe 100, joe 110, joe 140

As an example I would like to sort all files ending in 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59
I can't specify a set number of characters as it changes as more content is added to the end of the series Kfind will do a dandy job of searching folders & subfolders, how would I set the search criteria?
Is there some other GUI tool?

Hi, i have been using KDE (now on KDE Neon)for a while as my daily driver and have been wanting to improve the email/calendar situation.

I have seen Merkuro releases and announcements, but no instructions on how to install it!

Please help - how do i use Merkuro!?!? is there a flatpak or repo somewhere.

TIA

I use Kcalc many times every day. It worked great. I use it in Simple mode. When they added the history display, I started using it from flatpaks to get that feature in older releases.

On Kubuntu 22.04, I am using Kcalc 23.04.3. It works exactly the way it used to - which is what I want.

On Kubuntu 18.04, I'm using Kcalc 24.05.2. It does not work as expected or desired.

I have no idea why I have different versions on the two notebooks. AFAIK, I installed them the same way.

On the old version, if I enter 1 * 2 =, the answer, 2 appears in the register. Clicking on the register copies it to my clipboard. Entering another digit clears the register and replaces it with the new digit. The old calculation and results are automatically out of the way.

On the new version, if I enter 1 * 2 =, 2 appears in a new space below the register and then disappears from that space and 2 appears in the register. Clicking on the register appears to do nothing. I have to double or triple click on it to select it and then press Ctrl+C to copy it to my clipboard. This is bad. But far worse, if I next type a 3, instead of the register containing 3, it appends the 3 and the register contains 23. This means I have to clear the register every time before I use it.

I have never seen a calculator that does this and don't want to!

What is going on? Do I have to find a way to get and pin the old version?

Why was this done?

Where is the best place to file or add to an issue to get this reverted?

I triggered an update via Discover, and I think I clicked the [x] (close) title bar button a little too quickly. Would that have stopped the update in mid update or does Discover do the update in a subprocess that continues even if Discover is closed?

I am trying to use the Device Auto-Mount feature in KDE Settings but it doesn't seem to be having any effect. I have selected On Login and On Attach for the drives I'm interested in, but after rebooting they aren't auto-mounted.

If I click on them in Dolphin I am prompted for my user password and then they get mounted.

Anyone know what might be going on or where I should look?

• I couldn't see any obvious errors in journalctl
• drives are not encrypted.
• running AuroraOS

and yes I know that I can set this up with fstab, but it would be good to understand why the GUI approach isn't working and hopefully fix it.

At one time when I would launch a program from the Task Manager the icon would stay in place, now when I launch something like Firefox for example, the Icon moves down to the bottom of the list. When I exit it moves back up to where it was.

I can't seem to find a setting that relates to this.

I am using just "Task Manager", is the thing I want in "Icons Only Task Manager"?

Hey friends!

Basically, here is my problem. I open the launcher menu (or KRunner) and start typing. Let's say I type "firefox", and hit Enter.

The launcher menu is very slow. It often opens "Files" instead, because that pops up after I type the first two letters.

Basically this means I need to wait a second for the launcher to finish searching, show me firefox, and then press enter.

This is frankly infuriating. Every other launcher on any other desktop or WM does not have this issue.

I have experienced this on two different machines running both Plasma 5 and 6, on different distros, both are beefy machines.

I'm sure there is a way to avoid it, does anybody know?
