KDE Optimizes How It Finds Mount Points - Up To 80% Speed-Up

KDE developers have been busy preparing for Plasma 6.2 with lots of bug fixing and polishing while also beginning to land some features for Plasma 6.3.

KDE developer Nate Graham is out with his usual weekly development summary for all things KDE. Some of the KDE highlights for the week include:

- Plasma 6.3's Widget Explorer sidebar now has an option to remove all instances of a widget, which can help if there is a hidden stuck widget.

- Plasma 6.3 when having multiple screens showing wallpaper slideshows, the transition times are now synced so each screen's slideshow changes at the same time.

- KDE has optimized how mount points are found. KDE apps with file-based use cases can see up to 80% speed-ups.

- Launching an app that lacks a .desktop file will no longer cause a brief screen freeze.

- Various bug and crash fixes.
