KDE Gear 24.12.2 Improves Dolphin, Itinerary, Tokodon, and Many Other KDE Apps
Coming almost a month after the KDE Gear 24.12.1 point release, KDE Gear 24.12.2 is here to fix a regression in the Dolphin file manager on X11 that caused the keyboard focus to move to the Places or Terminal panels when Dolphin was minimized and then unminimized.
KDE Gear 24.12.2 also updates the KDE Itinerary travel assistant with improved travel document extractors for Bilkom and PKP PDF tickets, as well as support for the new API from Deutsche Bahn for querying public transport information, restored public transport data access to Digitransit in Finland and to Rolph in Germany, improved travel document extractors for American Airlines, Brightline, Southwest, and Koleo, improved ticket extractor for PKP, and public transport data access from Entur in Norway.

KDE Gear 24.12.2 Apps Collection Rolls Out, Here’s What’s New
Today, almost a month after its previous 24.12.1 release, KDE has rolled out the latest version of its app collection, KDE Gear 24.12.2, as the second update to the 24.12 series, focuses on enhancing performance, resolving bugs, and improving user experience.
I’ll start with Dolphin, KDE’s robust file manager, which has received improvements in its forward action popup menu to keep navigation clutter-free.
Furthermore, the icon overlay system was upgraded to pass in the correct output size, addressing long-standing complaints about blurry or misaligned overlays. Users should also notice improved scaling on high DPI screens within the Information Panel.
