This is the way I use my PC. The difference I can see is that I use groups of workspaces for each "activities": - miscellaneous with system informations, console, ... on one workspace - internet activities: mail, usenet, web and other (empathy, torrent, ...), each of them having its own workspace - photo management: digikam, vuescan, showfoto, hugin, ..., each of them having its own workspace - web site conception: ... - ... I generally have 10 opened workspaces (in fact 9 as I use Gnome-Shell as my default desktop) with activities I always need (misc and internet) on 4 workspaces and I organize the other workspaces depending on what kind of activity I want to start. > My suggestion is to create a way of creating specific workspaces for > these jobs.

I would just add that, for me, having the possibility to create, save, open and close the group of workspaces for one "activity" (misc, internet and so on), to easily switch between application/workspaces inside one "activity" without being perturbed by other "activities" (for example by seing only the workspaces of this "activity" when looking at the overview mode and/or by having the possibility to quickly switch with a key combination inside the activity group of workspace) and to switch between the different groups (by having a place where all the "activities" are listed with their status as described in Jimmy's mail), would be very useful. I am sorry, Jimmy, if it was the same as you said, but my English is not sufficiently good to understand all the subtleties of the language and it seems to me that you propose to have only one *virtual* workspace per activity where I need several; it is the reason why I propose my vision. I agree with all the other concepts: association between activities and data like contacts, widgets, ... If it was also possible to tag applications, favorites, recent documents as being associated to all "activities" (by default) or to a specific activity (by user's choice), allowing to see only related items for each "activity" (for example, I don't need to see System tools when I am working in photo management activity), it would be also very interesting. -- Stéphan Peccini Les photos : <URL:http://photonature.fr> Les Pyrénées : <URL:http://photonature.fr/pyrenees> Le blog : <URL:http://pyrenees.peccini.fr>
