Hi David, Please note that the latest Basket version is 2.10 (someone needs to package it for Arch) and some of the old bugs are already fixed. So you could build the latest Basket from source and see how it works for you.
You can check https://launchpad.net/basket/+download and https://github.com/basket-notepads/basket and choose a version you would like to test: * 2.10b - kde4 release (there are several bugs which were fixed after), * git master - latest kde4 code (will become 2.11 soon), * 2.49a - kde5 release (made specifically for Plasma 5, but may contain new bugs). Please report the bugs to https://bugs.launchpad.net/basket . Thank you for feedback! Best regards, Gleb On 14. nov. 2016 05:27, David C.
