There is a "relaunch all the things open at time of shutdown/restart" feature in macOS, which is what that merge request implements. On Windows, some applications will mark themselves to auto-launch on login in the registry, which sort of emulates this capability on a per application basis. Session restore is a concept that has basically never existed in a cross-platform way, and that's a big part of why it has never worked well in most applications. It's just not important enough to deal with when it only works for a subset of X11 desktops. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! -- _______________________________________________ kde mailing list -- kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to kde-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
