Hi Shantanu,
sorry, I didn't mean to criticize your work on Calligra Active. I know that you 
didn't work on the homescreen anymore because I was the one who told you that a 
homsecreen is generally not useful (since we have Files to browse files) for a 
file viewer in Plasma Active.
We had just forgotten to blacklist it (or maybe it was a bug, I'm not sure 
anymore) and I wanted to remind the others why it should be blacklisted.

It's good to hear that the homescreen appearing shortly when loading a file will 
be fixed.
There are some other things which can be done to make Calligra Active more 
consistent with other Active apps (and the HIG), I'll get back to you with some 
suggestions on that shortly.

Generally I like Calligra Active very much, great work!
