Konqueror bugs

Greetings.

This might be my only reply to this thread.

This version is more than 4 years old and highly outdated.

I do not even really have [File Management] => [View Modes] here, but just 
[View Modes] on the top level. And in there is no [Services] / [General] 
tab or at least I do not find it right now. I bet it will be somewhere. I 
bet there has been some kind of restructuring going on between Konqueror 
21.04 and 25.04. Konqueror may not be that actively developed anymore, but 
it is a 4 year difference!

However I do seem to find an "Apply" button on every configuration page I 
tried so far.

If you wonder why you just got one reply so far, look at what you wrote. 
If I were a KDE developer I would not reply to such a rude way of 
expressing your frustration. Why are you even using current KDE software 
anymore if you are so unhappy with it? No one is forcing you to use it. 
You are actually attacking those who develop the software you are using 
mostly in their free time. Not a good plan, if you ask me.

Mind you, Konqueror has been kind of deprecated for file management a long 
time ago. Maybe it would have been better to remove the file management 
part from it altogether, but eventually I believe it is basically using 
the same components than Dolphin uses for at least most of it. I love the 
Konqueror ability to tile the window as often as you want, but I got used 
to the optional two pane display of Dolphin meanwhile. Current Dolphin is 
an excellent file manager.

Anyway I do not concur with your general assessment of the state of KDE. 
Plasma 6.5 is a really, really nice desktop. Some KDE software still has 
issues, like Akonadi, but in general things are really working quite 
smoothly. I am actually quite happy with the state of KDE software on my 
system.

And if you like to have something similar like KDE 3.5 back there is an 
option for that as well. Just not within the KDE project and within the 
scope of this mailing list.

Best,
