[[Special:myLanguage/Baloo|Baloo]] is a file indexing and search service that '''Dolphin''' and '''Elisa''' use to get metadata for files and to allow global searches. In a terminal type, <code>balooctl check</code> to find out whether an index was created already. <code>balooctl disable</code> and <code>balooctl status</code> are helpful instructions as well.

活動

活動(Activities)是一系列擁有自己壁紙的 Plasma 元件。有點類似虛擬桌面,但不完全是。 (譯者註:虛擬桌面變的是程式窗口,活動變的是窗口的背景-桌面,比如說壁紙,圖示,元件)
比如你有一個「工作活動」,帶有 rss 訂閱信息,你的一份 TODO 筆記,一個帶有與你工作有關文件的文件夾視圖和一幅微妙的壁紙。
在他旁邊,你還有另一個「空閒時間活動」,帶著家庭照片和狗照片的預覽,你最愛的博客的 rss 訂閱信息,一個展示你的電影收藏的文件夾視圖,一個 twitter 小元件,當然還有從 80 年代初喜愛至今的鐵娘子樂隊(Iron Maiden)的壁紙。
在 17:00 整點的時候你從「工作活動」切換到「空閒時間活動」中。

Akonadi

The data storage access mechanism for all PIM (Personal Information Manager) data in KDE. This allows various applications to access the required information in one place. Note that use of Akonadi does not change data storage formats (vcard, iCalendar, mbox, maildir etc.) - it just provides a new way of accessing and updating the data.
設計開發 Akonadi 的主要原因是技術方面,例如從不同的程式(例如 kmailkword……)用一種統一的方式訪問 PIM 數據(聯繫人,日程表,emails……),因此無需到處編寫類似的代碼。
另一個目標是將圖形程式像是 kmail 從直接訪問外部資源比如 mail-servers(郵件服務器)中脫離- 這是過去有關性能/響應(performance/responsiveness)的 bug 回報/願望的主要原因。

容器

容器(Containment)是元件(widget)的頂層組合。每個容器管理他的與其他容器獨立的一系列元件的佈局和配置數據。
最終結果是你能根據對你工作模式的意義來組合多個元件到一個容器內,而不是根據目錄分組。

Dolphin

The default file manager in KDE Plasma. It has a side panel (Places), but navigation is mainly by the breadcrumb trail above the main window. It has various advanced features such as split windows and individual views in different windows. Mounting and umounting USB devices can be done in the side-panel. Other directories can be added to the Places panel. A Tree view is also possible.

虛擬桌面

基於 Unix 的窗口管理器的一個流行的概念是「虛擬桌面」。這意味著你不只有一個屏幕可以用來放置窗口而是有多個。但你切換到另一個不同的桌面(通常用「分頁器」)你只會看到新桌面裡啟動的窗口或移至新桌面的窗口。窗口也可以做的 "sticky",意思是他可以出現在全部桌面。
