Agreed. Pinned icons should stay pinned (but only have the arrow display what is in the current workspace). non pinned icons should not be displayed in a workspace unless it is open in that workspace.

[Bug 683170] Re: should be possible to display only the launchers on the current workspace
This is also very import to me. It's very important if you have work spaces dedicated to different tasks. The extra running launcher icons showing in the launcher makes it harder to find what you want in the current work space. Clicking to get a new browser for that work space and getting dragged into another work space will drive you mad. These are some simple things that are impotent to me. Things that will drive me away from unity. I believe it would be best to have a option at least to have it function like the old gnome panels with the ability to keep things pinned. I think it would work like: Keep in launcher icons show on all the work spaces. Active windows in the current work space would be the only other icons show on the launcher. Anything running on the other work spaces should not be shown. Clicking on a browser on this work space should launch a browser on this work space irrespective if there is one already running on another work space. If fact I think the middle click should be reversed, middle click should see if the program has a window on another work space and take you to it. Left click should always launch a window on current work space, or bring to the front the current window. Its really annoying to get ripped out of your current work space into another.. if I wanted to go to another work space I would go there. Of course I've more then happy if this is a option, does not have to be default. But does really need to be there. for example Docky has this exact setup, though you do have to turn it on.

[Bug 683170] Re: should be possible to display only the launchers on the current workspace
As far as i understand, workspaces were meant to achieve two things: 1. Grouping applications (into activities or tasks). 2. Reduce clutter with many open applications. Hiding only the running emblems takes care of 1, but not 2. The launcher WILL clutter up. Hiding non-pinned applications will act basically the same as classic gnome and solves both. If this is a design choice, then I'm interested to know what the unity team mean workspaces are for. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/683170 Title: should be possible to display only the launchers on the current workspace -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 683170] Re: should be possible to display only the launchers on the current workspace
I agree with Sebastien Bacher, Bazon and Garthhh. Launcher should not show icons for all open programs but only for those in the current workspace. That would help to keep the Launcher tidy and simple to use and also be more consistent with App Spread and Alt-Tab. Best way/time to present all the open windows in the Launcher would be to do that only in the overhead (Expo) mode. That would be very intuitive. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/683170 Title: should be possible to display only the launchers on the current workspace -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 683170] Re: should be possible to display only the launchers on the current workspace
by the way, there is a very consistent way: make as if the other workspaces simply weren't there. that's the way i would suppose it to be. no icons and no running indicators for windows on other workspaces. remember: using several workspaces is useful to avoid distraction from things going on on other workspaces. (what else should several workspaces be good for if one sees all the stuff from other workspaces anyway?) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/683170 Title: should be possible to display only the launchers on the current workspace -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

PLEASE add at least this option, just as it was for the classic gnome task-bar. that's exactly the reason I don't use the netbook edition on my netbook: i'm used to have 6 workspaces (2 private, 4 for my job) and I really like not being distracted by anything going on on the other workspaces. it get's so confusing having an over-full launcher in which I have to scroll.

Please consider the solution proposed in bug #667245.

Re: [Bug 683170] Re: should be possible to display only the launchers on the current workspace
Right these are separate issues. One is about which icons get displayed on the launcher (this one). This should be closed as opinion - we want to show all the icons on all the workspaces in the launcher. However, we are evaluating varying the running emblem according to whether the app is running on THIS workspace or only on others. The other bug is about the spread of windows that you get from clicking on the icon in the launcher. And that bug is correct, it should be confirmed, you SHOULD only see a spread of windows from that app IF there are windows in that workspace.

[Bug 683170] Re: should be possible to display only the launchers on the current workspace
I opened a bug for a slightly different issue that is related to this one (and got duped to this one). I think the launcher should still display the icons for apps running in all workspaces, but _clicking_ on a launcher icon for an app that is open more than once should only display the windows from the current workspace (or automatically switch if there's only one instance on the current workspace). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/683170 Title: should be possible to display only the launchers on the current workspace -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The rational is that some of our users have their activities by workspace, like one workspace for hacking, one for chat activities, etc. When you use the computer this way you probably just want to know about things which are part of the context you are currently in, it's easier to find your way between you hacking tasks when only those are listed and you don't have to figure what is running somewhere else you are not using -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/683170 Title: should be possible to display only the launchers on the current workspace -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
Re: [Bug 683170] Re: should be possible to display only the launchers on the current workspace
We could do this for the launcher icons which are not pinned to the launcher, but that would mean a slightly weird inconsistency.

I think we talked at UDS about folding launchers who aren't in the current ws. Thinking about it, it can be weird as when you start your desktop, that would mean all launchers to be folded.
