Note: This is feature request, but I could not find a whishlist for 'kactivitymanagerd'. It would be great to be to able to automatically stop an activity when it's empty, or automatically start an activity when you open an application that has been assigned to that activity. I know this can be achieved via shell scripts (which is what I'm using right now), but it would be great to have this as an option for the activities settings. Note 2: You guys are doing a superb job!!
By empty you mean no application specific to that activity running?
(In reply to David Edmundson from comment #1) > By empty you mean no application specific to that activity running? That's correct. If no windowed app is running on that specific activity, then it gets stopped. And if you open an application that is assigned to an activity that is currently not running, then the activity gets started automatically. I put this quick bash script to do just that - https://pastebin.com/1Jwn8Fqs
This seems reasonable to consider. If it can be done with a bash script it shouldn't be terribly difficult to implement.
Activities cannot be stopped anymore, which makes this bug sadly no longer relevant.
