Dolphin 25.04.0

System settings but I was having problems with the free disk space display on the status bar however since playing with theme options and restoring a full width status bar things seem to have been sorted The nice thing about the file manager today is that it does search for content in Libreoffice and ocr'd pdf files. Something that in the past did not work.
Eclipse IDE for PHP Developers - 2025-03 (4.35.0)  No longer functional !
Eclipse development framework tools for PHP, including PHP language support, Git client and editors for JavaScript, TypeScript, HTML, CSS and XML.

Windows bar is defaulted off, but the replacement right hand corner icons are then painfully small. Having lost access to eclipse which I've been using for many years, I was a little loathed to switch especially since VSCode is linked to Microsoft but while I am still learning all the quirks that are second nature for eclipse it is actually working very well.
