i think no point in making them extenders if they are going to be full applets once detached. best idea is probably the one rfom sebas, making the notes applet there is now to manage akonadi urls drop, so in that case would be connected to akonadi and save there there would be another applet that would show a simple list view of the notes text where is possible to drag notes out (same thing should be possible also from kjots to look really killer) not even sure if the listview applet should permit editing at all. another idea would be an applet that looks like the notes (perhapps that looks like a stack, another modality for the list view one?) one but has next/prev buttons and is possible to switch between them Cheers, Marco Martin _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
