           Summary: [4.2+] Display items in taskbar only from current
                    activity
           Product: plasma
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: widget-taskbar
        AssignedTo: panel-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: einar heavensinferno net


Version:            (using KDE 4.0.98)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

Currently, the taskbar widget can be configured to show only items from the current desktop, or the current screen. If possible it would be great to have a third option to confine showing only windows from the current Activity. 
Use case (from my own experience):

On this work computer I have three activities that deal with different kinds of problems, each with different folder views and launchers. For example, let's assume I have a "literature studying" and "programming" activities. On the literature one I have a running browser and a BibTeX editor, while on the programming one an editor and a console window. In the current state, if I am on the same virtual desktop, I see all the programs launched on that desktop's taskbar, regardless of the activity I am on. 

To better separate activities, I would benefit by having only the programs launched in that activity.

Is this doable? 

Thanks.
