Hi, What do other people think about having optional OS X style dock behaviour in KDE?
In OS X, when you close all the windows of an application, the application itself does not usually close. The application keeps running and the dock indicates this. To close the application you have to click file|quit, or press mac-q.
I propose an option to enable this functionality in KDE.
If the option is disabled, applications will cease running when all windows have been closed.
If the option is enabled, any applications that have been appropriately modified will continue to run when all its windows have been closed. Clicking the appropriate icon on the panel would create a new window for the application.
If an application has not been appropriately modified, the application should cease running when all windows are closed. OS X does this.
I believe that this dock behaviour is one of the great strengths of OS X.
I'm interested in views others may have. If you reply, please indicate your level of experience with OS X.
Where are feature requests generally discussed?
I think that KDE already has this feature. At least there are already applications that work this way.
Such issues are often discussed on: kde-usability or kde-quality.
