every now and then, distributions approach us asking which applications they should ship by default with Plasma, or they complain about us not providing such information.<br>
Although the Plasma team of course does not have to provide such information, it may still be helpful also for us because we can try to make sure that these applications work well in Plasma.<br>
Choosing such applications is not an easy task, but to get things started, a group of people who were stranded in Bielefeld waiting for their trains after a meeting sat together to come up with an initial suggestion. Here is the result:<br>
<br>
File manager: Dolphin<br>
Music player: Cantata<br>
Video player: VLC<br>
Document viewer: Okular<br>
Software center: Discover<br>
Communication: Konversation, KDE Telepathy (cautiously, because while it works well at the moment, it is also looking for a maintainer)<br>
Password storage: KWalletmanager, kwallet-pam<br>
Hardware support: Skanlite, Print manager<br>
Utilities/system tools: KCalc, KDE Connect, Konsole, KSysguard, Kate, Kamoso (if a distro wants to ship a webcam app at all)<br>
Office suite: We do not recommend one at the moment<br>
Pim suite: We do not recommend one at the moment.<br>
Browser: We do not recommend one at the moment<br></blockquote></div><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">What about the file archiver Ark in the Utilities category? It also provides the ability to compress/extract archives from the contextmenu in Dolphin. I would think it has at least as much justification to be on the list as e.g. KCalc.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">B.R.<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Ragnar<br></div></div>
