Activities KCM

[Ivan Čukić]

Thanks for the suggestions.

First, lets start with the feature requests.

> 1. Which applications start automatically with a given activity.

As Marco said (and I agree), this shouldn't be for per-activity settings.
But I do think we should have this feature.

> 2. Which activities are started automatically on boot
> 3. Which activity is shown when the system starts

2 and 3 are not something I think should be configurable, but maybe can be 
persuaded - the system is restored to the state you left it - both the 
activities that are running and the current activity.

> 4. Location, network APN, or time-aware activities.

This should be done automatically - the activities should be scored based on 
the current location and stuff like in Plasma Active, and the switcher should 
sort them by the score, or mark them in some way.

I don't like the idea of starting/switching/stopping activities automatically 
for any reason. (can exist as a plugin, like VD switching, global shortcuts)

> 1. What is being blacklisted?  Activity support, remembering document,

+1

>  Same for the checkbox on the bottom.

Is the blacklist checkbox still confusing? (mind that the application view + 
checkbox are shown only when the appr radio button is selected.

> 3. I am not sure how this would look, or if it would work with other

> "Remember open documents"?, and get rid of the "Keep History" text?

Didn't quite understand this. Did you mean to move it above, so that it says
Remember opened documents [forever]
Remember opened documents [for 5 months]

If yes, the problem is that visibility of those depends on the "don't 
remember" radio button not being selected. Hiding something above is not 
something that I'd consider pretty.

Thanks!
