Bug ID: 405657
Summary: [feature] - new option for QML TasksModel,
"filterTransients"
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.15.3
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: Task Manager
Assignee: h...@kde.org
Reporter: mvourla...@gmail.com
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
TaskManager.TasksModel by use-case decision excludes all windows that do have
the flag "SkipTaskBar" and that creates a limit to its usage from plasma
applets. Last years many kde developers have adopted TaskManager.TasksModel in
order to provide window-specific functionality from applets. But because of
"SkipTaskBar" filtering some windows can not be accessed and more specific the
all important normal windows that are transients for main windows.
Applets example:
https://store.kde.org/p/1274218/
https://store.kde.org/search/projectSearchText/window%20buttons
These applets currently can not provide functionality or information for the
transient windows.
What I propose is a new flag for TasksModel called "filterTransients" which is
going to be ENABLED by default but will give the option to kde developers to
DISABLE it in order to gain access to transients.
I dont know if this is even possible in current plasma wayland infrastructure
or it will influence the main use case which is the taskmanager but I want to
open the discussion in order to get ideas.
Of course I can help a bit for developing some parts of it.
