Hi all, We currently have two ways to track recent documents - KRecentDocument and KActivities.
The later provides a more nuanced approach: - it records usage events per activity (document opened, closed, etc.) which allows for different recent documents for different activities - this is already used in Plasma's Kicker, Kickoff and the task manager; - it allows specifying which applications should be ignored (when the user does not want images opened in gwenview from polluting the recent documents list); - it allows making an activity private. In this case no usage statistics are collected. I do not plan to make KRecentDocuments and KIO depend on KActivities, but I would like to make KRecentDocuments plugin-based - something like Qt's QPA. If the system is not KActivities-enabled it would behave like it currently does; but on Plasma it would use KActivities and would have the previously privacy benefits. What are your thoughts on this? Cheerio, Ivan p.s. One more KIO component that might use the information about the 'private' mode is the PreviewJob - it might decide not to save thumbnails in private activities. -- KDE, ivan.cu...@kde.org, http://cukic.co/ gpg key id: 850B6F76
