I'm sorry. I wasn't clear. The file structure I'm proposing would be completely abstract, and not really based on folders. Aaron's kind and concise suggestion that nepomuk is a better candidate seems like a better idea. However, there still is the problem that many applications put downloads in th

I think you may have taken offense to the title. This was not intended as an insult. Let me explain why I chose it, and I'm sorry if any offense was taken. I am all for the concepts behind Plasma. I like the idea of organizing files, programs, and tools needed for a task in an activity for easy a

You misunderstood me and insulted me when I was simply making a suggestion and looking for feedback. This is why many users feel alienated. My point was that the reliance of the folder view on the traditional file system is a hindrance, and that a second system, based on activities and logical grou

A usable plasma desktop

A few usability bugs (okay, maybe only one, but I like exaggeration as much as the next guy) have been popping up recently regarding how to deal with the Desktop folder. Users and applications alike are used to using it as a dumping ground for files, launchers and downloads. Most solutions have to

Hi all, speaking with fredrikh about speed with window masks some things have emerged: returning a qbitmap is a bit wrong, since it will have to be converted to a qregion each time, so.. should the framesvg mask function return a qregion? this would of course break the api, so quite of a problem
