I've been inspired by http://live.gnome.org/ScratchPad/TheDesktop. I'd like to see the tasks to replace the workspace.
I work on several projects/tasks. I have the 'News' section. I have the 'Work' sectio. They are relativly 'stable' - I have them opened all the time. However on some projects I work more rarly - for example if I have no important exam next week. Setting properly the enviroment takes some time and is unproductive. Keeping them in-memory waste resources. The problem is also if I need to restart session/X/computer (new kernel, new memory, new X, new Gnome). I'd like to have the 3 modes for each task: - Active - all programs are running - Suspended - most programs are closed but the programs that listen (email clients, im, news readers) are active so I can see that something changed. Possibly the active tasks may be GC-ed to this state - Closed - all programs are closed The activation of programs should open them exactly in the proper configuration (as I left them) - possibly even with unsaved files (they would be saved in separate location). The creation of task should also be easier then the workspace. The main problems: - Some applications should be split. I want for example the specific messages in evolution (filter-based) to be displayed in specific task even if the mailbox is the same. - What with non-native gnome applications? I don't know if this is proper place for those development of idea but I didn't find better. Regards -- I've probably left my head... somewhere. Please wait untill I find it.
