    Already did that. Those apps are themed horribly and are thus unusable. Afaik there is also no scaling setting for 3rd party toolkits in the COSMIC settings.

    Ark can do more, like compress in detail, from the filemanager.

    Gwenview is an image editor with many basic features you want.

    Spectacle has another image editing feature, for some reason KDE has 4 implementations of that, Spectacle has the only good one. This can be used standalone with the Dolphin extension “annotate it”.

    Dolphin is waaay better than COSMIC files, absolutely no comparison. If it is just a customizable GUI, custom icons for everything, extensions.

    I dont ger Thunar. pcmanfm-qt is the best alternative to Dolphin I know. At least the theming works on KDE, may be different on other desktops

        I explained KDE Apps.

        COSMIC is fine and a really great project. But they are simply lacking like 10 years of development behind KDE.

        Not gonna say that once ready it could simply be better, faster, more streamlined, no cruft. But yeah, not in the next few years.
