@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social wake me up when you restore the ability to place multiple application tabs in a single window. Many have been up in arms about the inability to use different backgrounds on different desktops for years. But the loss of the ability to combine applications in tabbed windows is a more serious regression in my opinion.
Rude, but a teachable moment:
This is our standard answer to people who need reminding that KDE is a community powered by volunteers and that each contributor works for free to bring you the best software they can make with the means they have.
Maybe I'm very dumb, but I don't even see the utlity right now, or how that could even work..
@Sina it did work. I used it. It's apparently not for you. Some people like to organize their displays by grouping particular windows together. Tabs are used for this in many applications such as browsers (try it). KDE extended this capability across applications but the feature disappeared with one of their downgrades about the time they removed the ability to set different backgrounds on desktops.
So I assume you are working on the needed code to reimplement that? Let me know if you need any help with it.
That's the spirit!
