If you right click the Title bar of a TDE app (KMail) you get an ability to view the app on all the desktops or a single desktops (To Desktop).
If you have 3 Desktops, is there any way to view the app on only 2 of the Desktops?
If not, how much effort for our wonderful Dev's would this take? (If it's easy I'll go add it as an enhancement request, if it's a complete pita, it's not worth it.)
Thanks, Michael

That's one of my pets, that special feature of TDE, and I use it to dedicate a window to specific types of activities: all office docs on #1, chat on #2, email on #3, etc.
It doesn't look like that's possible to me, from looking through the settings, and I've been using them a lot since about 2006. But I do imagine that it might be possible to hack this to make your own feature, if you dig into the config files. I am just speculating here, but as this features goes back to the antediluvian KDE3 days, my hunch is that you might find a way to write it into the config file.
Myself, I doubt I'd want it on two desktops, out of my 20 available, but then again, once I have some new feature, I often find a use for it. And just the possibility of creating is interesting, as it might open up other such possibilities.
If not, as you say, it seems like this could be somehow inserted as a kind of feature upgrade.

Hi Michael, no idea of how much effort would be required. At minimum we would need to spend some time to explore how to provide the use a way to select which desktops to show the window. Probably good to file a wishlist issue on TGW.
Cheers Michele
