I like very much this idea. Please close this bug. What you want is to map an activity to a virtual desktop. You can already do that in current KDE4 versions. System Settings -> Several desktops -> Desktops -> Check "A distinct activity for each desktop". @adrian: I'm not sure it is the same thing @adrian: what you mentioned isn't what I ment! please reread my usecase or ask again if you didn't understand it. bernhard: interesting. sometimes I find myself wishing for this, too. I'm not quite convinced... but it's something to discuss for 4.7 :) ...however, it really belongs more to the kwin side of activities. maybe I should make a component for that product :) Pleeease implement this! I have two, three activities for different topics I work on and frequently switch between them. Almost always I end up on the wrong virtual desktop as almost always I want the VD I last used on that activity. I get the correct VD only by chance. So this always requires an extra click to switch VD. Bug #265015 looks like asking for the same thing as this here bug report. It seems that users would really like this behavior. This is not surprising, since all descriptions/reviews on activities suggested, that activities are independent workflows, and independent of the reviews, the idea of independent workflows really seems useful. In its current state activities provide only semi independent workflows. This can be used of course, but really independent workflows should be the final goal I think. To tell the truth, I would like to be able to have different number of VDs, different Panel and different everything... Totally independent workflows. This could really increase productivity. *** This bug has been confirmed by popular vote. *** would also love this!! actually i have been wishing for this sometime now, just discovered by a identi.ca reply when i dented saying that this is my most top wish for kde activities. In case anyone is interested: i posted a proposed patch at a duplicate report of this bug: Bug #265015 (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=265015). *** Bug 265015 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Implementing this would increase the usefulness of activities much more.

If I am in activity 1 on virtual desktop 1, and switch to activity 2 on desktop 1, and then move over to desktop 2 on activity 2, and then switch back to activity 1, I end up on desktop 2 rather than 1. The transition looks like this: A1/D1 --> A2/D1 --> A2/D2 --> A1/D2 I suppose this bug should be reopened. Michael D: Don't think so ... its working here ( gentoo ) with plasma 5.7, qt 5.7 and frameworks 5.24 I see. Must be a bug with my distro's packaging. I'm running kde neon developer edition (git stable). I'll file a bug there. |
