Description Andreas Kilgus 2017-01-28 16:20:56 UTC
Start a calligra application, open a document. Now stop the activity the calligra application belongs to.
At reactivation of this activity the calligra application is started again - but does not open the document that was open at the time the activity was stopped. Instead, the list of recently opened document is displayed.

A complete restore of the previous state includes the opened document(s). See konqueror, okular, kwrite and other applications - the opened documents "survive" a stop/start cycle of the activity they are associated to.

Report still valid in 3.0.0.1.

BTW: There is no opportunity to select the current version of calligra in the corresponding bug tracker select combo. "3.0 alpha" is the entry most nearby ... ;-)

versions added thanks
Comment 3 Andreas Kilgus 2018-01-24 09:47:27 UTC
One year later - report is still valid. Is calligra going the way of digikam into independence from KDE? Otherwise I still think that KDE integration includes the handling of activities in a way that opened documents at the time when an activity got stopped get reopened at the time the acitivity is restored.

Isn't that just a matter of including the document path(s) in the session state? calligra applications themselves get restored, so there already has to exist some kind of activity related session handling calligra supports ...

Indeed a fix might be simple, but we did not find a developer yet who was able to create a patch.

Thank you for reporting this issue in KDE software. As it has been a while since this issue was reported, can we please ask you to see if you can reproduce the issue with a recent software version?

If you can reproduce the issue, please change the status to "REPORTED" when replying. Thank you!

Yes, still valid (3.2.1).

[X] Done. But noone waits almost 6 years for a solution. I don't use calligra anymore and don't know if anyone else cares about this bug report - so you might as well change it to "WONTFIX".
