Plasma/Browser Integration

Plasma/Browser Integration is an extension for Firefox and Chromium-based browsers that better integrates those browsers with the Plasma Shell. It enables the following functionality for Plasma desktops:

  • MPRIS2 media controls
  • Sending links via KDE Connect
  • Showing and controlling downloads from the notification area
  • Finding browser tabs in the Run Command window

Thankfully, this extension does not require Plasma to run! With just a few adjustments to the Xfce PulseAudio Plugin, Xfce users can now also utilize the MPRIS2 media controls and link sharing.

Xfce PulseAudio Plugin 0.4.3 Released

How to Install

Instructions adapted and simplified from the KDE Community website. Check this link if these instructions no longer work.

The extension requires two components: the browser extension and the native host. Once both are installed and correctly configured, active streams should appear in the Xfce PulseAudio Plugin menu.

Browser Extension

Install the plugin appropriate for your browser. Most Chromium-based plugins support extensions installed from the Chrome Web Store.

Native Host

Most distributions should now include a plasma-desktop-integration package in their repositories. Find yours here at Repology. If you’re using Ubuntu or a derivative, installing the native host is as easy as:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install plasma-browser-integration

Once both components are installed, the extension should start working!

Catfish 1.4.12 Released

Catfish 1.4.12 Released

Welcome to 2020! Let’s ring in the new year with a brand new Catfish release.

What’s New

Wayland Support

Catfish 1.4.12 adds support for running on Wayland. Before now, there were some X-specific dependencies related to handling display sizes. These have now been resolved, and Catfish should run smoothly and consistently everywhere.

Catfish 1.4.12 Released

Dialog Improvements

All dialogs now utilize client-side decorations (CSD) and are modal. The main window will continue to respect the window layout setting introduced in the 1.4.10 release.

I also applied several fixes to the new Preferences and Search Index dialogs, so they should behave more consistently and work well with keyboard navigation.

The new dialogs are more streamlined and standardized.

Release Process Updates

I’ve improved the release process to make it easier for maintainers and to ensure builds are free of temporary files. This helps ensure a faster delivery to package maintainers and, therefore, to distributions.
