Ahh, got it. :-)
Do we have a multiple-file select dialog or some such that might make this a little less unpleasant? Same question for application select (or eventually contact select).

We will probably need a medium-sized text along the lines of "you can add these later by ..." along with "your usage patterns will be followed and blah blah". Maybe a 'Show me' button (or in-text link) would also be beneficial.


Totally agree. I won't bother doing a mockup for that. Just let us know if you need any specific design input there.

Guys you are doing a great job! Those latest mockups look really promising.

Cool! 2 quick ideas:

1) One big button would suffice to add the currently opened applications and documents to the selection. This might circumvent the lengthy selection dialog process in most cases, leaving the option, though, to manipulate the selection manually (simple by default,...).

2) Some kind of slider could be added to change the time frame that is taken into account (last 15, 30, 45, 60 minutes...) while updating the selection in real time?

Yes, something along those lines might be useful. I'm afraid that a slider might be scary for the user, but it is a nice idea.

Mockups welcome :)

Pour ma part, c'est le contraire : un wallpaper différent dans chaque espace de travail. Pourquoi KDE ne le permet plus dans les récentes versions de Manjaro, Opensuse, etc. C'est très désagréable !!!!

Sorry, I do not understand French. There is a French sub-forum on forum.kde.org, in other places, English is required.

For my part, it's the opposite : a different wallpaper on each workspace. Why doesn't KDE allow it anymore in recent versions of Manjaro, OpenSUSE etc. That's very annoying!

Thanks for the translation.

@jeantantou
That question has already been answered a couple of times. The last time somewhere in this thread: viewtopic.php?f=285&t=126253

I'm not sold on it.

The fact that somebody created a gnome shell extension to show window icons on virtual desktops does not mean 1) it should be done 2) it fits activities.
