[opensuse] Add KDE activity programatically?
I have been looking for information on this but do not see it. Is it possible to set up (install new) activities when installing software. For example, in out software suite, it could be interesting to have a calibration activity, a diagnostics activity, a measurement activity, and an analysis activity. These never occur at the same time, use different tools, an could perhaps benefit from desktop streamlining when that activity is active. This will probably never happen if we need to set these up by hand. If, however, we could (1) detect if the activity is already defined so we do not muck up an already installed activity, and (2) install an activity that does not exist, we could then justify investigating the use of activities in our systems. Any pointers are welcome.

I haven't done it myself but I think you're looking for this: http://techbase.kde.org/KDE_System_Administration/PlasmaDesktopScripting You can use JS scripts to add, configure, remove panels, desktops, activities, etc. Regards, Tejas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I see things like how they are added when a user logs in, and how to install updates. Exactly the type of thing I was looking for!
