SUMMARY As the title implies, this is a feature request to have a config option to only show minimized tasks a la the Plasma task manager widget. OBSERVED RESULT Look in tasks and see option to show only minimized tasks EXPECTED RESULT Look in tasks and doesn't see option to show only minimized tasks SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: openSUSE Tumbleweed (20190420) KDE Plasma Version: 5.15.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.57.0 Qt Version: 5.12.2 Latte Version: 0.8.8 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I was poking at the source code earlier and noticed the usage of the org.kde.taskmanager QML widget, which already seems to have the ability to show only minimized tasks. It should be possible to add a configuration option and then wire the necessary UI and QML options relatively easily.
Latte is using plasma libtaskmanager, so yes this is possible. Can you please provide some examples why someone would need this?
Let's say one user is creating a setup that is supposed to resemble macOS. They use Latte as their dock and want functionality similar to how macOS handles minimizing (the windows do the classic "genie effect" and shrink to fit into a thumbnail on the dock). While using show only minimized tasks, a similar effect can be done, albeit with an icon instead of a window thumbnail. Considering the popularity of setups that try to copy macOS, this seems like something that could be used to enhance the quality of those setups. You can see an example of a setup that could be possible with the Latte plasmoid here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLDwXNiU9gs [the setup is using the icons only task manager as a substitute for the latte plasmoid] Another user could use the functionality to recreate the iconify effect found in WMs like TWM, where windows don't minimize, rather, they shrink into a newly created icon somewhere on the desktop.
