Hej all,

I use my notebook for work und private tasks and organize my desktop into respective activities, one for my private life and one for work. Considering the arrangement of desktop widgets this works quite elegant. As a like separate these two worlds, I would love to see the possibility to have different browser histories, bookmarks, to see only private or work mails etc for the current activity. The same for e.g. nepomuk timeline search, to limit the results to files accessed under the current activity.
For sure, there are much more imaginable cases to achieve a more activity-sensitive desktop and to make activities much more usable.

Whats your opinion? Are there yet features in line with the described ones that I missed? Please don't hessitate to contact me here.

PS.: Thanx a lot to all KDE developers for this great KDE4 desktop!

Having activity-aware applications like you describe is central to the concept of activities, and should start appearing in 4.7. It may take a few releases for this capability to be utilized effectively, though, since it is a pretty radical departure from what has been done before.
