Applications

KDE has never been just a desktop and includes a variety of applications for fun and productivity.

In 4.2 The Gwenview image viewer now can display animated graphics and has a new red eye reduction filter.

Gwenview also supports tagging and rating of files through Nepomuk, the semantic desktop framework. This ensures the tags and ratings are shared between applications using Nepomuk, like Dolphin.

The Kopete chat client has seen improvements in its MSN support and in the user interface. File transfer requests show up in the chat window instead of a pop up, and there are message delivery notifications. There is also now Jabber Jingle Audio support.
