[Plasma] Dolphin on the desktop

Mon Apr 06, 2009 3:50 am
Let Dolphin have an option to work as Desktop application, as an altternative to the FolderView and other plasmoids.

dolphin has more features, and having it as plamoid could save a space in dock :)

But It think it would be better to create something like plasmoid-kwin, so any program could be "parked" as a plasmoid, especially then program has some "mini player" mode etc.

It would be cool to have any app tn the desktop

Sounds like you're describing the xembed plasmoid, although it has its quirks. I think it's still in playground.

Then this idea could be marked as submitted?/done?/dublicate? :)

I don't think so. The IP (Idea Poster - I'm trying to spread this abbreviation ;)) wants a plasmoid that behaves like Dolphin.
If I remember correctly, the xembed plasmoid is more a proof of concept, not intended for actual use. As I said, there are some problems with it - at least when I tried it the last time.
