Yeah, that sounds pretty good. This is the kind of thing I meant when I wrote about a master applet with satellites applets, which Aaron wrote would fail in some situations. I'm not certain if this is what he meant, but some issues that I see are: * Can the master applet or list applet know when a note it is listing is dropped onto the workspace and should not be shown in the list anymore. * Can the master applet know when a note applet was closed/dismissed and should be shown in the list again. * Can the master applet notify the note if it gets deleted in akonadi. (in the kjots application for example). There is another solution for this one in akonadi if not. * Would it be possible to drag one of the note applets back into the master applet? However, reading it again, this: > when the notes are separated by > the user into individual pieces, they should probably just become > individual applets. looks like you, he and I are talking about the same thing. It might have been a misunderstanding about what I meant by master widget with satellites. I meant one widget to hold those notes in a list which are not otherwise on the canvas, and individual notes, one for each widget which has been dragged out. Are we talking about the same thing?
