[09:56] schestowitz[TR2][09:56] schestowitz[TR2]The basename command in Linux is a utility used to extract the base name of a file or directory path, effectively stripping away any leading directory components and optional suffixes. When provided with a full path, basename returns only the file name or the last segment of the path, making it useful in scripting and file manipulation tasks. For example, given the path /home/user/document [09:56] schestowitz[TR2] .txt, basename would return document.txt. Additionally, users can specify a suffix to be removed, such as .txt, leaving just document. This command simplifies handling file names and paths in scripts, enhancing automation and streamlining various file management processes.

[11:12] schestowitz[TR2][11:12] schestowitz[TR2]We spent an enormous amount of time working on bug-fixing and polishing tasks for Plasma 6.1 this week. It was a big release, and there were some rough edges around the new edit mode. So we put quite a bit of time into making it integrate more seamlessly with the other existing modes, and generally polishing it up. Other areas of focus included panels and the system tray, especiall [11:12] schestowitz[TR2] y when using non-default settings. We made a lot of big changes under the hood for Plasma 6.1 that had some negative consequences, so were working to fix things as quickly as we can.

[13:05] schestowitz[TR2][13:05] schestowitz[TR2]When the coding period began I was expecting to publish a progress report every week. However, weve reached the end of the first month of the coding period and this is my first update: This probably tells that there hasnt been as much progress as I expected, although progress have been made.
