KDE Frameworks 5.79 release touts 300+ changes. Highlights  include a much-improved Dolphin file manager that now better handles files containing non-ASCII characters, supports displaying of thumbnail previews for .ANI animated Windows cursor files, and no longer crashes when skipping the copy or move operation of a large number of files in quick succession.

In relation to the Dolphin file manager, it’s now possible to undo the deletion of a file or folder without unexpectedly overwriting an existing item that has the same name as the undeleted file or folder. Furthermore, when opening a file in a KDE app that was accessed from a web browser and then accessed via the Open dialog again, you won’t see the file’s parent website anymore.
