New Activities Gone Wild!
« on: January 29, 2013, 04:39:38 PM »
Yeah, just like college girls.  Really ::)

In order to get to the "Copy to" option in context menu in Dolphin - I have to pass this sucker: "Activities".  I know to take a mouse detour now around that area but why on earth all the activities?  I really never got into them. But my poor Dolphin is just about unnavigatable in some places trying to get around the mess that opens up if my cursor gets near this in context menu.

Thank you for suggestions.  I am sorry that I am not an active participant these days but RL has dealt me some really ugly hands lately and I still just use my PCLinuxOS, to well, just do everything with as little input from me as possible. Wish I could get into it like I used to.  Nish

Thanks.  I still don't know what the activities are but nice to know I can get rid of them  ;D

Update - it sounded like a good idea.  After installing and logging out/in I now have no desktop icons.  There is a cashew with the caption "desktop icons" on a blank screen.  Clicking the cashew just gives me a menu.

Got the icons back by changing to folder view.  Am left with an ugly "desktop icons" cashew.  This sucker is ugly and in the way of my weather. Suppose I can make my weather widget opaque.

Not sure if the nac script or kde updates did this, probably the KDE updates.
