            Bug ID: 383571
           Summary: Option for saving workspace
           Product: rkward
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: rkward-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: flyos at mailoo.org
  Target Milestone: ---

Usecase:
- Activities in Plasma can be used to start/stop a bundle of software related
to... an activity (like e.g. "work")
- Upon stop, Activities stop all possible software (mostly only KDE software)
and keep the session "in mind"
- Upon restart, Activities restart all software previously stopped. This works 
seemingly just like a Plasma session exit/restart when open software are set to
be memorised.

Issue with RKWard:
- When asked to be terminated by the system, RKWard wants to know what to do
with the workspace and opens a dialog to Save/Discard/Don't quit.
- This actually "suspend" the stopping of the Activity, rendering the whole
start/stop of Activities useless when using RKWard, because one has to stop all
RKWard windows before stopping the activity, then manually restore them.
- Incidentally, this also concerns the stopping/restarting of Plasma sessions,
as RKWard behave the same in that case (it stops the session deconnection to
ask what to do with the workspace)

Proposition:
- This behaviour makes sense as a default, because it is not easy to guess the
user's workflow with workspace and how valuable the workspace is to the user
- But having a way to provide RKWard with the information about what to do upon
termination would be nice for this particular usecase
- A possibility would be to implement 3 possible behaviour on termination as a
setting:
   1/ Always ask what to do with the workspace and thus suspend termination
(current behaviour and sensible default)
   2/ Always save the workspace
   3/ Never save the workspace
