yes, that makes sense. > and this must be done in 4.5, only if it can be done in a way that is sensible. it won't be able to be an optional thing because we can't introduce new strings in the 4.5 branch, so no configuration UI is possible. so if it is added, it needs to absolutely work because it will not only be the default ... it won't be able to be turned off. that said, i think it may make work well since it's an active user selection to associate the window with the activity, and the window won't be shown when a different activity is shown. what will likely end up becoming a requirement, however, is a way to show windows in other activities so that a person may find "that krita window i had open ..." without switching to every activity manually. that sounds a bit more like something for 4.6, though. > otherwise will cause another ser revolt. a user revolt because the windows are shown in the taskbar? seriously? will some people complain? sure. will some throw tomatos at us because of it? sure, but those people will do that no matter what we do: they are just looking for an excuse. (and for that reason i have ~zero interest in and respect for them.) let's make decisions that make sense on their own merit, not because the "peasants are revolting!". -- Aaron J.
