hi everyone! following a suggestion on #plasma, I would like to start a discussion about how to improve activities/desktop automation for users.
I'm mostly interested in the ability to specify, ahead-of-time or at launch-time, on which activity/desktop an application window should run into, basing the decision also on a per-application property/content basis (be it PID, user,working directory or a command argument like a path for a file manager or a url for a browser). At the moment (please correct me if wrong) such ability is provided by the kwinrules kcm module, but the criteria it provides are related to X window properties only, no application name can be specified, nor a command argument. How would you solve such a problem? Is it possible at all with the current technology (X11, wayland, TaskManager)? What changes are required to provide such functionality? Here are some links that have dealt with some aspect of this scenario: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/46621/what-process-created-this-window-with-no-pid-associated http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/5478/what-process-created-this-x11-window https://www.x.org/releases/X11R7.7/doc/resourceproto/resproto.txt _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
