Is there a way to have windows previews in a qml plasmoid?
You can have that with declarative KWin scripts:
http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/KWin/WindowSwitcher
http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/KWin/Scripting

But it's not possible to use inside a Plasmoid. With some hacks something could be implemented in Plasma, but I would highly recommend to not do it :-)

For example is a tasks qml plasmoid possible?

Ok, I would like to comment that I found a very easy way to do this.
There is a function:

Plasma::WindowEffects::showWindowThumbnails

in order to show previews of any windows you want in a window you want.
It works like a charm when the plasmoid is placed in the dashboard or
in the desktop.
This is exactly the taskbar thumbnail effect where I asked you to not use it because it is not suited for anything except uasge in the taskbar thumbnails. If you use lxr.kde.org you will see that it is used in exactly two places: the tooltip content for the normal tasks applet and the one for icon tasks.

Of course it is questionable that it is public API. But the knowledge that the effect is unsuited for anything else than taskbar thumbnails is rather new (we discovered with window strip in Plasma Active).

I have no doubt about all this. I suppose there is an in-developement process about how to handle this situation the development team. Maybe it will be a deprecated function in the future. Either way, by the discussion here I suppose that there are two trends. One that the window thumbnails should be available only in kwin and one that they should be available also in plasmoids. This is a question about how the tasks plasmoids will be implemented in the future. I cannot provide any opinion around this dilemma, the development team is going to decide. Until then I will wait for the official implementation of tasks plasmoid. In a month I will upload a video showing my current use case and from so far I havent noticed any drawbacks with Plasma::WindowEffects::showWindowThumbnails. I dont know what are the issues but I havent
noticed any in my implementation so far...

Cheers,
Michail
