Well, yes that's a good point. Maybe it would make sense to not remove them when dragged, but just to create a reference. That would make it possible to have the same note on the workspace/containment twice. Is that desired behaviour? I can't think of any technical blocks to that, so that's more just a UX question. > >> * 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).

Yes, I can create an Akonadi::ItemMonitor for each dropped note on the workspace which will tell me when the note gets updated/deleted. > >> * Would it be possible to drag one of the note applets back into the >> master applet? > > Yes, just implement the dropevent. A non issue though really if notes do not get removed from the list on drag.

By the way, There's now a discussion on kde-pim@ about the more long term plan for notes I mentioned before which you may find interesting: http://markmail.org/thread/s5obkiwql5bvyr66 All the best, Steve. _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
