This week's update is full of application updates, which is in line with KDE's goal of [KDE is all about apps](https://kde.org/goals). ## Libraries ### Kirigami Kirigami's Card component [now uses gradient stops instead of blur](https://commits.kde.org/kirigami/4203a779031cb7c2268fbdd75d3ddddd9d786056), which improves performance on low performance GPUs. The ColumnView component has [improved flicking behavior](https://commits.kde.org/kirigami/ea1eb618d446c82643c2b3ad6e2f883126a6a74d), its flicking gestures should now feel more natural and easier to use. ### Mauikit Improved selectionbar component behaves more like most of the touch applications in selection mode, where the selectionbar now takes a list of actions to perform on the selected files. the selection bar still can group files/items across different locations and a list is shown to peek which files have been selected and adjust the selection. ![Index selection bar](/img/screenshots/index-selection-bar.png){: .blog-post-image-small} the templated delegates used by the maui apps in the list and grid views has been polished even more and is now used in more places. ## Applications ### Phonebook The instant messaging actions in the phonebook now [ show the display name of the service instead of the protocol](https://invent.kde.org/kde/plasma-phonebook/commit/e89b35d3bffa2bd1007b2054c8ce83e7382b23e1). Its editing mode now fits smaller screens and is displayed correctly. For this a fix has been [landed in Kirigami](https://commits.kde.org/kirigami/839983aa3604435d814c741c59c6dcb485ca33a1). ### qrca -The QR Code scanner [now supports otp uris](https://invent.kde.org/kde/qrca/commit/966534987211d17884717b28fe1760780c4d3ce8), which will in the future be handled by the keysmith application. It now also tries to [set the camera to a specific format](https://invent.kde.org/kde/qrca/commit/ff2a2b71e02e44e9386ae87f7e185ec29201989c) to prevent being unable to decode an unexpected format +The QR Code scanner [now supports `optauth://` uris](https://invent.kde.org/kde/qrca/commit/966534987211d17884717b28fe1760780c4d3ce8), which will in the future be handled by the Keysmith application.

VVave can now save the current playlist to a personal playlist. ![vvave quick actions](/img/screenshots/vvave-quick-action.png){: .blog-post-image-small} The new focus view has been improved visually. ![vvave focus view](/img/screenshots/vvave-focus-view.png){: .blog-post-image-small} VVave can quickly filter tracks if the list is big enough using the templated data models from mauikit. ![vvave filtering](/img/screenshots/vvave-filtering.png){: .blog-post-image-small} ## Upstream Ofono phonesim, an application that can be used to develop sms and telephony applications, now [supports Qt 5](https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/network/ofono/phonesim.git/commit/?id=f09c37df3fd0da74bf04360e3be465c780613727) upstream. Currently plasma-phone-components and plasma-nano repositories are part of playground, recently [they were moved to kdereview](https://marc.info/?l=kde-core-devel&m=157319701027562&w=2), on successful review process completeion, they will be moved to `kde/workspace` and will be released along with Plasma 5.18 release. ## Events Some of us attended the [Qt World Summit 2019](https://www.qt.io/qtws19/home) in Berlin, At our booth we demo'd Plasma Mobile running on Nexus 5X and Purism Librem 5 devkit. ![PlaMo at QtWS 2019](/img/qtws-2019-plamo.jpg){: .blog-post-image-small} ## Want to be part of it?
