KDE Gear 25.12.1 Apps Collection Rolls Out, Here’s What’s New

Nearly a month after the 25.12 apps collection release, the KDE team has rolled out its first maintenance update to this series, KDE Gear 25.12.1, with a focus on resolving issues and enhancing stability.

Several widely used applications received targeted fixes. Dolphin file manager addresses session migration for users coming from older session file formats, resolving a long-standing compatibility issue.

Kate text and code editor includes multiple fixes in its Project plugin, including a fix for a crash in the tree view and improvements to project reloading behavior. Skladnik corrects an input handling issue by ignoring mouse release events at the end of drag actions.

Latest KDE release includes great updates for Kdenlive and KDE Connect

The KDE team announced today a collection of maintenance updates for KDE Gear, its set of open source apps including the popular video editor Kdenlive and mobile multi-tool KDE Connect. Many other apps are also getting minor updates, improving the KDE experience overall.

Kdenlive in particular got a lot of attention with the KDE Gear 25.12.1 update. Notably, Kdenlive will now launch faster when you open it through your PC's file manager (think double-clicking a Kdenlive project file), and an encoding profile for AMD's Advanced Media Framework (AMF) has been added to the Windows version of the app.

My favorite part of Linux's KDE Plasma just got a huge update

Here is a fact-based summary of the story contents:

I could spend all day singing the praises of KDE Plasma (in fact, I already have), but one thing I don't really touch upon is KDE Gear. And I really should, in all honesty, because it's one of the more subtle reasons why KDE Plasma is so good. It's one of those things you use on a daily basis and don't realise how much you use it until it's gone.
