KStars, KDE's full-featured app for #astronomy aficionados, releases version 3.7.5.

Although mainly a bugfix version, KStars v3.7.5 boasts a couple of interesting new features, like the dome slit visualization on sky map, video sequence capture, and enhanced scheduler loading and settings management.

If you are curious about the universe you live in or are into astrophotography, get KStars now.

Yes.

Close all tabs and open frames until you have one (1) tab and one (1) frame (say your home directory), no split windows.

Tick the "Show Hidden Files" checkbox in your menu (or just hit Ctrl + h) to show hidden files.

All the folders, tabs and frames you open from now on will show the hidden files.
