Published by Ivan Čukić in the KDE development: Activities section, on 16 May 2012

So, how to make this available to the normal users, you ask? Easy - make it available to the normal file managers via KIO - just type activities:/ in Dolphin, Konqueror or the Folder View applet, and you’ll get a list of all activities, and files that belong to them.

You can see what it looks like in the screenshots. At the moment, it is a bit buggy, but it will work as expected for SC 4.9.

This is great! I have been hoping for an easy way to browse files associated with activities for a while now. Thanks a lot! :)

@<a href="#comment-27239" rel="nofollow">Aaron Seigo</a>: The current activity would be at activities://uuid-of-current-activity although it could be made special - activities://current
I'll patch FV today - so that it gets in before the feature freeze. I
f it starts misbehaving because of that, we can always remove it. (potential misbehaviour - changing the contents of activities://current when the activity changes)

Has any progress been made with KAMD and Activity aware applications? In anycase it's nice to see Activities finally coming to fruition.
Ivan Čukić
@<a href="#comment-27237" rel="nofollow">teho</a>: Not really. If KDElibs weren't frozen, there would be a significant amount of apps in KAMD world. (any KPart-based application)
With the current state, for things like these, we'll need to wait for KDE Frameworks 5.

sudden obvious idea alert! -> folderview could get an option in "Location" alongside (or, rather, above :) "show desktop", "show a place", etc.. called "show current activity" which would then set the url to activities://. would be trivial to do and rather nifty imho ... what do you think?

What can be causing this? master today for kactivities and kdebase-apps

@annma: Check your soprano version, with the recent changes in Dolphin, it needs a rather up-to-date version.
Ivan Čukić
@<a href="#comment-27250" rel="nofollow">annma</a>: Nothing to do with activities. Don't know what the problem might be - try BajK's suggestion.
annma
Ah sorry I thought linking docs to activities was done through Nepomuk
Ivan Čukić
@<a href="#comment-27255" rel="nofollow">annma</a>: Yes, but the blockage you get is not something that is related to that.
The documents are linked only on request, the blocking you get is related ti getting the info about a file if I got it correctly.
