Hello!
If i have a Programm open in a Aktivity and i move it to another Workspace its go to a virtual Desktop. Then i must swtiched to a virtual Desktop and closed there and open it on the Plasma Aktivity.

If you want to enforce the activities, you must also be able to move programs from one activity to another. Otherwise goes back to the solution of KDE 4 which has at least worked.

There was an Setting : "Different mini-programs for every desktop" or of german : "Unterschiedliche Miniprogramme für jede Arbeitsfläche"

I'm not sure I understood you. Can you post progress-screenshots of what you are doing and what would you like to have?

I am currently seeing my problem.
There are 2 entries. One for the virtual desktops and one for the activities.
This is very confusing because for me the activities also represent desktops. I
I also do not understand the meaning. Either you use the virtual desktops or you use the activities, both together makes no sense to me.
Therefore, I would suggest that either only the virtual desktops or only the activities are displayed.Or that there is at least one possibility of setting in the system settings.
Because it can happen that one moves on the activities of the program on the virtual desktops and only have to go back there again to get them back. Which is very annoying.

Oh, got it now.

Some people use virtual desktops, some activities, some both (me for example).

If you do not use virtual desktops, you would have only one and there would not be the virtual desktops entry sub-menu in the window menu. The same goes for activities.

I still do not know what it's supposed to be good for and I find it unnecessarily complicated. But seemingly I have no choice but to uninstall the virtual desktops or just to use one more.

As for the simple configuration of the desktop KDE 4 was miles ahead of you.

Too bad that you make everything so complicated.
