probably because one of the goals was always getting away with the traditional "application centric" paradigm (contrary to the other tendencies of making a big iphone launcher the center of the workspace ;), putting in the center instead activities and resources (not necessarily files, a bit beyond the other usual one, the document centric ui) so if something gets open by an "application" or a workspace components, or what is what becomes a not too relevant question. is something that is still miles from being realized, and unsurprisingly enough is a bit more complete on plasma active (no legacy there) that's just to clarify a bit of why of the design Cheers, Marco Martin _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
