I’ve had a quick look at the code, there doesn’t seem to be a way to change the “default” currencies, they are hardcoded. See https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kunitconversion/-/blob/master/src/currency.cpp and search for “addCommonUnit” and “addDefaultUnit”.

You can specify your target (e.g. 11 USD in INR should work), however I don’t know how to change the defaults or if KRunner is “smart” enough to automatically include INR in those conversions.

I’m not sure (not the author) and I think syncing config is a lot more difficult than it would seem at first glance. Eg Panel Layout: Imagine syncing between a multi-monitor-setup (work PC) and a single-monitor-setup (Laptop) - how’s that supposed to work? The panel might be on the second screen on the PC, but once synchronized to the Laptop, that would mean either

• missing panel (off screen)
• double panel (stacked on top of each other)
• hidden second panel (one below the other)
• …

Syncing .config would (at first glance) work best for device independent settings (e.g.: Indentation in Kate with Tabs vs. Spaces) - but even “fonts” in Kate might already not be a good idea, as a font might not be installed in both systems (and it might get worse with font-sizes, scale-factors…)

The proposal isn’t mine, I just read and shared it :-) The blog post has a paragraph or two about multpile subfolders, as I read it, the specification is not clear on whether thats supported? But actually: at first glance I think this would be better to have, because it would possibly make synchronizing to a new PC/Laptop even easier. However, this only works if any machine-specific settings (e.g. “offset /size of window”) are not stored in config, as that might break if you sync config between a multi-monitor setup and a single-monitor setup. This requires a lot of thought…

Just for clarification: this would be a one-time process per application, right? I’m sure this will work for 99% of users, but there’ll always be the one (or a couple of users) that synchronizes their .config directory, then doesn’t update all machines at the same time and all hell breaks loose - a.k.a https://xkcd.com/1172/ :-) But I’d say that’s probably not worth losing the advantages of a cleaner .config-directory, so this might be one of those “tough-luck” situations… 🤷

Not a plan, but a wish has been made: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=469779

In the cases with the cursor still showing (and maybe even in the cases with the half-frozen sddm screen (it’s actually probably going to be a lockscreen, not sddm)): Can you still switch to a TTY (e.g. CTRL+Alt+F2 or F3)? If so, you could try to run export DISPLAY=:0; killall plasmashell; sleep 5; plasmashell --replace and see if this resolves the issue?

Yeah, it’s not a great name, either, I agree…

“Itinerary” is so hard for me (German) to pronounce… Couldn’t it be renamed to something like “TravelSKedule” or something a bit more “flowing”? The work in it seems awesome (and a very good example in working together with other FLOSS communities, like OpenStreetMaps etc.)

OP said

(note, in settings > energy saving the option to change screen brightness on battery power is unchecked)

So either that setting is ignored or there’s two competing energy saving modules active or there’s a but in the setting or something completely else…
