KDE Introduces Wayland Session Recovery Feature

The next weekly KDE development report has been published, presenting changes for the KDE Plasma 6.7 branch, which is expected to be released in June. Among the recent changes:

  • Implemented full support for saving and restoring sessions when using Wayland, allowing you to restore the state, binding to virtual desktops and position of windows of an interrupted session after a reboot or crash. The implementation is based on KWin’s added support for the xdg-session-management protocol proposed in the Wayland-Protocols 1.48 release.
  • Added the ability to independently switch between virtual desktops on each screen (previously virtual desktops switched synchronously on all monitors, but now they are linked to each monitor).
  • In the configurator on the “Default Applications” page there is now the ability to select the default application that implements the calendar scheduler.

  • In the applet, called when you click the middle mouse button on the watch, added option to open the calendar planner.

  • Added support for placing in favorites operations on apps shown in search results.
