Desktop Activity Manager 0.7.2-1

Desktop activity manager Desktop activity manager (actman) is a status menu applet that allows the user to have multiple activities (a'la KDE's plasma). An activity is the set of all desktop widgets, bookmarks and icons along with the background. For example, it is possible to have an activity named "car" where the desktop is customized to be easily accessible while driving without having many icons. Then another activity named "games" to include shortcuts to games. Then another activity named "clean" without any widgets on the desktop in order to conserve battery. Desktop activity manager comes along with a command-line tool (/usr/bin/activity) that can be used by other applications, scripts or automations in order to handle desktop activities.

Thanks for noting the hildon-status-menu issue. Can you please test 0.7.4-1 too? It should not have this problem. (In order to properly test it you should first remove actman. Don't worry. It will not remove saved data.)

Also, don't forget to move your votes there :-)

Had to "killall hildon-status-menu" in order to make this working, you should write in description that a reboot is needed. However, it works perfectly, very nice app.

FYI: command line is more powerful than the gui. You can run: "activity load " which will just reload a saved activity.

Try "activity help" for more info.

This is brilliant. I'm working on a "Web Page Widget" and the EAL stuff likes to crash when unloading it so this application saves me from having to add all my widgets again. Thanks.
