[Feature Request] - Show Activity Name
psifidotos opened this issue · 14 comments
Currently AWC supports showing for the plasma desktop either the text Plasma Desktop or a text that the user has specified from the settings.
I think it would be much more informative if instead the name of the current Activity was shown
That sounds like a good idea to me
pretty meaningful... :)
Somehow it doesn't work for me, the applet doesn't launch :/
plasma version? any errors?
Ok, it's fixed. Most absurd issue. There was a character issue after copying manually from github...
The thing is I didn't have right access to apply your patch and not being very proficient in git (didn't know how to apply your commit into my local branch), and given that there were only few changes in your commit I decided to apply them manually... and that was the result, my bad!
It's nice to have activity name in AWC, btw! :)
yeah... I use it also!!! It very easy and clean now to identify in which activity I am working on
Now that we have the activity name, extra points would be to have the option to move from one activity to another via a right click option... Would that make sense?
Currently it shows 'close', 'maximize', 'minimize', etc. These are windows options that do not apply when focus is on desktop. The option to switch activities would be more proper, I think...
this commit hasnt merged yet...
Sorry, @kotelnik is on vacation and finally got to the internet :))). First, sorry for my late responses.
Thanks for the suggestions. I've just merged the @psifidotos pull (THANKS!) with some additional changes (I'm proposing %activity% placeholder instead of the checkbox). I think this is more flexible for the user... I hope it's ok for you?
As for the activity switching, I agree it should be added as a feature. Dropdown menu makes sence, @KubiQu, thanks for the suggestion! I'll look into it.
Please try latest commits for activity switching by standard right-click dropdown menu. Criticism appreciated :).
It works just great!
