Very cool. I tried it on KDE Neon (ubuntu 18.04) and it worked perfectly. Didn't even leave any artifacts. However, all input events were queued up by KWin and as the application handled them as soon as I resumed it.
Would be seriously cool if KWin natively supported this so apps would truly freeze. Would fit in perfectly with Plasma's Activity system.
- geokon 8y agoYou can suspend a whole Plasma activity already. Isn't that more useful?
- owaislone 8y agoReally? I've never noticed it. Apps running in another plasma activity always show up as running instead of stopped and continue to consume resources. I only tested by switching between activities.
- geokon 8y agoThey don't suspend by default. I don't use KDE any longer so maybe it's changed, but you just needed to right click on the activity in the activity panel and there should be a menu item to suspend the whole activity. It's really a non-obvious feature.. :) It's very handy and it's the main thing I miss from KDE b/c you can have more stuff "running" on a wimpy computer. I'd usually have a whole activity for some project I only touch once a week and it'd just sits suspended in the background till I needed it again
