Bug ID: 422704
Summary: Add Sort by... to grouped instances. Search ?
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.18.5
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: Task Manager
Assignee: h...@kde.org
Reporter: linuxguy...@gmail.com
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
Add Sort by... and search to grouped instances. Allow a group of task
instances (like Firefox instances) to be sorted alphabetically, by last used,
my most used, etc. and to search for instances based on window title names.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add a panel with a task manager widget. Enable group by name, disable
waiting for the task bar to be full. All tasks will be grouped all the time.
2. Open 20 to 50 instances of an app, like Firefox
3. Use them over the course of a week.
4. Reboot.
OBSERVED RESULT
When Linux reboots, task manager adds instances to the group as they launch.
Ie without a pre determined order. If you need to open a specific instance
from the list, you have to search through the list and find it. Very time
consuming.
Would be better to be able to search the instance list for a window title
keyword or sort the instances alphabetically.
Would also be great to be able to "star" a specific instance (gmail, for
example) and keep it at the bottom or top of the task list, so it is always
available.
Would also be great to be able to sort the list by last used, most frequently
used, etc.
EXPECTED RESULT
No have to manually search through an arbitrarily ordered list to find the
instance that is needed. Give the power users some power tools.
