Copy Activity - Create Activity by template?

[Michail Vourlakos]

Hello everyone,

I received from one my users a question:

"I like your plasmoid but I want to use it with many of my activities 
but I dont want its defaults, is there a way to set its defaults once 
and be kept in ordet to be used whenever I add your plasmoid?"

I answered him and please correct me freely!!!

---------
In Plasma 4 era there were two ways to achieve this and not reconfigure 
everything from start.
2.1 One way was to copy an activity, the new activity was exactly like 
the first one with all the widgets keeping their settings. But I think 
that this functionality has been dropped by the plasma developers.
2.2 The other way was with Activities Templates. It was possible to 
create a new activity based on a template which was setting all the 
needed values and positions for its widgets. But I dont see such a 
choice for the user in Plasma 5.

-----

Have I missed something? Is there any new approach in order to create 
activities with specific settings?


regards,

michail
