I never understood "Activities" and will never. What are the advantages? And how will they be used?
I think the best way to explain it is that virtual desktops gives you several _identical_ desktops. And activities gives several _different_ desktops (different wallpapers, different desktop widgets, different applications associated and launched automatically, and in the future maybe even different panels for every activity). Activities make sense if you need different desktops for different workloads. Say when you're at home you like to have some specific wallpaper with some nice puppies on it, and a folderview widget showing some specific folder. Then later you're at work and you want a more professional wallpaper and different folders shown in folderview etc. or you're giving a presentation, or you're doing web development or whatever. Then you just switch to a completely different desktop configured specifically for that specific situation with different wallpaper, different widgets etc. with just one click or keyboard shortcut.
And why do you think that "Virtual Desktops" are actually "Activities"?
I don't. I'm just saying in KDE4 to give the perception of different wallpapers for each virtual desktop, the activity technology was actually what was technically used beneath the surface. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org
