that can be done behind the scenes quite easily. i'm thinking more about the public API here rather than the implementation; we often make some parts of the internal implementation a little "uglier" so that the public API is more consistent and pretty. > On 2009-09-23 21:28:50, Aaron Seigo wrote: > > /trunk/KDE/kdelibs/plasma/context.h, line 67 > > <http://reviewboard.kde.org/r/1699/diff/1/?file=11891#file11891line67> > > > > ensureActivityExists? > > > > or maybe ensureActivity and createActivity could be merged? maybe > > something like: > > > > activityId(const QString &name, const QString &expectedId = QString());? > > > > or perhaps these can remain as they are but be private API? it should > > only really be needed by Context when setting the current activity in that > > Context? > > wrote: > It would be ok to rename to ensureActivityExists > > activityId is a bit to vague - it doesn't say what it does at all (it > looks like a getter for a field while it can create a new activity) > > The idea was for an application/applet/whatever to be able to create a > new activity - then, plasma (and other apps) would react to that, by creating > a new plasma-activity. well, the method fetches the id for a given activity name. in that sense, it seems like a getter. that it may need to create the activity in the nepomuk store is almost a detail? as for creating a new activity, it really seems more natural, at least to me, to create Context objects and manage those. the only complication is that activities have IDs and they have names. *thinks* you know, it seems to me that applications should ALWAYS be refering to activities by ID. i can't think of a single use case where application code should rely on the activity's name. that's something for the user, isn't it? in plasma-desktop, we need to keep a mapping of Containment ID to Activity ID (or, Context::id()), but that's all. > On 2009-09-23 21:28:50, Aaron Seigo wrote: > > /trunk/KDE/kdelibs/plasma/context.h, line 83 > > <http://reviewboard.kde.org/r/1699/diff/1/?file=11891#file11891line83> > > > > is this equivalent to currentContext()->name()? > > wrote: > hm...
