Re: Tenor?

Many thanks for your response. I'm really happy and delighted to read that Tenor is definitely not dead, as some people claim ;-)

One thing I am wondering about is, whether it is too early to change KDE apps to support Tenor, as soon as it is there.

I don't know if the API is already there, but even if not, it may be interresting to see what happens, if there's a DCOP (or DBUS) service that accepts notifications (e.g. from KMail saying that 'this' document has been 'sent' from 'xy' by 'email'), so everyone (may it be Tenor or any program else) is able to connect to that service for listening what happens on the K desktop.

E.g., someone may find that it would be a good thing if KDE apps would also send notifications on what documents they are now going to open, and which one they are going to close (and to utilize this in some kind of 'task menu', that shows currently open documents, instead of 'tasks').

I'm not sure if this is the way to go. Is DCOP/DBUS a viable solution for this kind of task? Or is a library better? Is it too early to create an API now or does it already exist?

However, thank you for answering, and for your work.
