Kicker. Ivan also has his Lancelot launcher in develop- ment as I understand it.
Could you perhaps talk about possible workflows and how this would be displayed to the user? I'm still quite skeptical about how useful a global recently used files list actually is. I've always found the list of recent documents quite irrelevant as well.
Based on the amount of suggestions regarding it (e.g. grouping by type and per-app entry points) and the speedy reporting of bugs in it, it seems Recent Documents is quite popular among Kicker users.
So basically a filter on top of the global list of recently used documents?
Yes - it was suggested a few times to subdivide Recent Documents into content type groups like text documents and videos to get to the goal more quickly. Note that the purpose of this thread is to initially collect all the things we want to do, then figure out how the APIs to support that might look like (which includes finding out the right abstraction level and what should rather be done on the consumer side) and then draw up some concrete work items we can distribute over available hands. In that sense it's fine to poke and prod the use cases e.g. to find the similarities and pare things down and avoid overdesign, but I'd prefer it if we could do that in a friendly "hmm, I wonder if ..." manner rather than the "please toil to receive my blessing" tone of voice you're using here. In addition to strangely selective thread reading (I named both Kicker and the Task Mana- ger in my initial reply, which you could have replied to to poke for details) and a lack of awareness of what's shipping in Plasma Desktop it made reading your last couple of posts in this thread really frustrating.
