Repository files navigation

Plasmoid providing a fancy representation of your tasks and launchers for those who need full power of task manager and fresh look.

Requirements:
KDE4 >= 4.4

Warning!
This applet uses standard libtaskmanager like other task managers in KDE, so before you report bug check if it also happens in other applets (for example Tasks).
Included panel is not stable yet and has some issues, use it at own risk.

Tips:
- To make applet more usable you can put it on panel with enabled option "Windows can cover" or similar.
- You can use theme with panel background similar to that of dock (for example Sabre Tiger) or modify current using Desktop Theme Details.
- You can add launchers to applet by drag and drop of URLs and desktop files when Plasma is unlocked or using configuration dialog.
- You can set "No Sorting" to make tasks show icon instead of launcher icon (not in tasks area);
- To show only launchers you need to remove tasks area item from arrangement.
- To show application jobs you need to add jobs area.

Hidden options:
You can set them in applets configuration file (usually located at "~/.kde4/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc"), in group containing line "plugin=fancytasks" or "plugin=fancypanel".
- "initialZoomLevel" - initial zoom level for zoom move animations (value ranging from 0 to 1, default: 0.7);
- "paintBackground" - decides if background should be painted or not (true or false, default: true);
- "paintReflection" - decides if icon reflection should be painted or not, note that it won't change icon size because of space allocation for drawing task indicators (true or false, default: true);

Features:
- manages your tasks, launchers and application jobs;
- tasks filtering, grouping (including manual) and sorting;
- keyboard navigation (Tab and Shift+Tab);
- launcher to task transition (icons of launchers with running tasks are hidden);
- preview of windows with (live previews with KWin Taskbar Thumbnail effect enabled);
- dropping files on launchers runs command with parameters or gives option to move, copy or link them (if this is directory);
- visual drop indicator that helps in manual tasks sorting and dropping launchers;
- possibility to browse directories of directory launchers using context menu;
- possibility to add application menus;
- menu with list of all icons shown after activating keyboard shortcut;
- configurable animations (zoom, jump, bounce, highlight, etc.) and appearance (optional thumbnails and text label);
- fully animated icons (including animations of starting applications, tasks needing attention and application jobs progress).
