No idea if this is linked to the other xdg-open issues, but:
At work we use software to telework and teach from home when necessary. This
tool uses jitsi for the video part.
If I use jitsi directly, everything is OK.
If I click the "Call" button that, I imagine, starts jitsi with the
correct "address", I get a window saying:
Open xdg-open?
https://kinaps1.gyb.ch wants to open this application
[] Always allow kinaps1.gyb.ch to open links of this type in the associated
app
Clicking the "Open xdsg-open" button simply starts another instance of the
browser.
This happens whatever browser I use - although xdg-open always starts my
default browser.
Where - or what - should I look to understan what xdg-open is trying to do?

When searching in Kate/KWrite/KEdit/etc., the dialog window opens by default in the
middle of the text window, hiding potential matches. If, in the 'Find' dialog window,
one clicks on the left icon in the application's menu bar and go to Advanced => 'Special
window settings' and enables 'Placement', 'Force', 'Under Mouse' in the Geometry tab,
then goes to the Window tab and changes 'Window class' to 'Unimportant' (and makes sure
that 'Window role' is 'searchdialog'), the Find window will then open centered on
wherever the cursor is placed, instead of the middle of the text window.

To do software development, I'm setting up a separate account on my desktop machine (to
minimize distractions), but I'd like read-only access to some of the folders (e.g. this
mailing list) in my primary mail account. From what I've read, normally that would
entail forwarding the mail through a mail system via another mail account; but since both
users are on the same machine, can I just share the physical mail folders via symbolic
links?

After upgrading, this has once again shown its ugly head.

I still don't understand what the entries in .config/menus/applications-tdemenuedit.menu
relate to, and why they cause this problem. Should I just blindly remove all entries
that begin with 'kde-'? (Not the ones that begin with 'tde-kde-', presumably.) Do they
have something to do with the .desktop files that appear in ~/Desktop/?
This thing is a frustrating nuisance because there's effectively NOTHING beyond a few
cryptic entries in Release Notes and the pop-up messages (which can't be copied, and
don't seem to be saved anywhere. (Why is that?) if there is any documentation concerning
this, I can't find it in the Wiki (beyond "Upgrading from KDE3 or from TDE 3.5.x to
R14.0.x" in "Tips and Tricks", which seems to be pertinent but says nothing about
recovering from errors), nor in the Documentation section. It seems to me that there
needs to be some real documentation about recovering from this situation, written by
someone who understands in detail what this stuff is trying to do.

When a new instance of the desktop is started, there are several ways to run scripts or
applications automagically, e.g. files in ~/autostart. Is there some way to run scripts
when the desktop is being closed?

Somehow the password for gitea in my password database has gotten out of sync with the
gitea password. I used the "Forgot your password?" link, using this email address, to
get a refresh token (twice now), but I never receive an email. Any suggestions?

Hello all,
I've got a little problem. At work they recently changed their email system
for Office365. I did manage to setup an imap account in kmail, and this
account works, BUT:
When I get a message there, I get no notification. While all other accounts
get their messages in Inbox, or the relevent directory indicated there is
mail, the imap account shows nothing, so if I don't think to look I may miss
important messages.
I had found a workaround by setting up Thunderbird on a raspberry pi.
Thunderbird autoconfigures for this account (of course at work they did not
give me the informations to connect, as we are supposed to be using MacOS or
Windows with application that don't require these) and I forwarded the
messages to my regular mail account. However Thunderbird is a nightmare when
it comes to changing the password, and the work password must be changed
every month... so for the time being Thunderbird no more forwards anything.
I'll take a look at Evolution for the pi, but it would actually be easier if I
could just get informed that a mail arrived on the imap account.
Am I missing some setup, or is it normal that imap doesn't give any feedback
(I normaly use pop for my accounts).

Thunderbird 78.10.1 was released almost two weeks ago and Debian has not
updated the package as of last night. The other day, I installed Snap
(via the Debian 'snapd' package) to try to install the Thunderbird
package via Snap.
Although the Snap Thunderbird package appeared to install (no errors
were displayed during installation), it was not on any of the TDE menus
afterward.
Is there a trick to having packages installed through Snap to display on
the appropriate TDE menu?
Thanks in advance.

Hi it seems TDE would freeze whenever I try to change the icon of some
app. Attached is a picture describing the issue. Is this a known bug?
what can I do to fix it?
Thanks,
