Any way to just get rid of this concept of Activities all together? It was un-needed, a duplication of what already existed and totally confusing.
What were development resources wasted on this? Were the developers totally unaware of multiple virtual desktops which has been in every version of Suse since 6? Its announced like its a totally new invention that nobody has ever seen before!
Why did they add this? Can't they explain where they were going with it and what it is expected to do? They must have had something in mind when they spent all this time to get it working?
I have yet to see a coherent explanation of this feature.
This is my understanding. Say you work on development three days a week and documentation on two days a week. For each you want a different setup on your desktop (icons etc). You setup two activities (which might span multiple desktops) and then to swap between the two you just pull in the activity you require.
Hope this helps.
A nice explanation, but it doesn't work that way. Fire up some tasks. Say your programming IDE, and a command window and a test data set in Dolphin on another desktop. Now Switch Activities. Lo and behold, the same stuff is there. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
