Bug ID: 364508
Summary: no way of sorting "by desktop" and "from left to
right" or "manually"
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.5.4
Platform: Kubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: Task Manager
Assignee: h...@kde.org
Reporter: bugzi...@kerridis.de
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
The taskmanager in the panel allows to sort the window entries automatically
according to their appearance on desktops or activities. That's fine but gives
one problem to me:
I want to have my window entries sorted in desktop order but at the same time
in the order they appear on the desktops from left to right. I am optically
oriented and as that is my reading and looking direction it is "naturally" for
me. But instead they seem to be sorted alphabetically. That's totally confusing
and messed up for me (and not always obvious as the shown name is not the name
of the application).
E.g. with "by desktop" I start applications in the order kate, kontact and
chromium (all on one desktop). They appear on destkop in the order kate,
chromium, kontact (as kontact tooks longer to start). In the taskmanager they
appear in the order chromium, kate, kontact but are show as Startpage,
Unbenannt, Posteingang. So I have 4 different orders: the starting order, the
appearance inside the desktop, the alphabetical application order in the
taskmanager and the totally unsorted order of the button names...
It would be ok if the starting order would be "by desktop" together with
"alphabetically" *if* the user would be able to sort the entries manually (but
once you choose manually the preset isn't "by desktop" and when you choose "by
desktop" you cannot sort manually at all. It would be even better if the user
does not *have to* take corrective action.
Therefore I beg you to make "by desktop" and "by activity" a setting that can
be *combined* with the settings "manually", "alphabetically" and new settings
"from left to right" and "from right to left" (and maybe "by time they appear
first") and not to hard-wire it with "alphabetically".
Reproducible: Always
