Linking the file system to activities is another route back to the semantic desktop vision. from my point of view kde developers are sharing great technology with me. the overall design and architecture is well-tailored. I use kde since 2007. and the system is getting more productive with every update. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
