Plasma Active Three released
Plasma Active Three released
The third release of the Plasma Active "device-independent mobile user
experience" system is
available from the KDE Project. It includes a lot of improvements, new
features, and some new applications (including a file manager inevitably
called "Files"). "Okular Active is Plasma Active's new Ebook
Reader. Okular Active is built on the technology which also drives the
desktop version of the popular Document Viewer, and is optimized for
reading documents on a touch device.

For more information, see this
post from Aaron Seigo. "Unlike traditional file managers, Files
doesn't directly expose the file system. We see that as an implementation
detail like 'which kernel drivers are loaded.' Yes, it's needed for the
device to function, but the person using the device shouldn't have to
care. Instead, Files promotes meaning and content. On starting Files, you
select what you wish to view such as documents, images, music, videos,
etc..
