Bug ID: 474537
Summary: Add option to start with most activities closed
Classification: Plasma
Product: kactivitymanagerd
Version: unspecified
Platform: unspecified
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: ivan.cu...@kde.org
Reporter: hoheneg...@web.de
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Add an option to kactivitymanager closing all activities except for the Default
activity and expose it in the KDE settings.
That could perhaps also be achieved with a separate application using dbus (but
not sure if that would happen early enough during KDE startup) or a hack which
edits the configuration in kactivitymanagerdrc .
MORE INFORMATION
I am using KDE activities extensively. There is essentially one for each
project I am working on. The most significant issue I am having with it is that
it will behave really badly when KDE crashes or I restart KDE without
remembering the open activities. This is because after the crash
kactivitymanager will attempt to open all previously opened activities with all
the associated applications. This can fail badly if for instance at login the
resources from which files where loaded are not available yet (e.g. external
media, crypto containers). In this case you get a lot of error messages which
is very annoying and implies that you loose the open windows. My workaround is
to edit ~/.config/kactivitymanagerdrc on a shell before logging into KDE, but
that is quite tedious as well and I tend to forget it.
