You can probably implement it in the script itself, but there's no external functionality to do it

Developers do not look for reports on social media, so they will not see it and all it does is clutter up the feed.
In theory, this may be possible by configuring scripts to run via kactivitymanagerd
, when switching to/from an activity.
I've posted about kactivitymanagerd
on KDE Discuss where you can find some explanation, though you should also be able to find resources elsewhere that explain how to use it, but if you set up scripts for activated
and deactivated
states for the relevant activity you want it enabled on, that will enable and disable the script via commands and I believe it should be able to work.
As for the scripts, you should be able to utilize kreadconfig6
and kwriteconfig6
to read/write to kwinrc
and then use something like qdbus
to "reconfigure" KWin. Something like below as basic enable and disable scripts would be worth trying. Note: Check the ~/.config/kwinrc
file for the correct key which I've assumed to be poloniumEnabled
based on the id
defined in the polonium.kwinscript
archive.
For the activity to have it activate on when on the activity, this would be the activated
script:
# Check if Polonium is disabled and enable it if it is. Also don't reconfigure KWin if it's already enabled.
enabled=`kreadconfig6 --file kwinrc --group Plugins --key poloniumEnabled`
if [ $enabled = "false" ]; then
kwriteconfig6 --file kwinrc --group Plugins --key poloniumEnabled true
# Reconfigure KWin after enabling Polonium
qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin reconfigure
fi
And the deactivated
state script would be:
# Check if Polonium is enabled and disable it if it is. Also don't reconfigure KWin if it's already disabled.
enabled=`kreadconfig6 --file kwinrc --group Plugins --key poloniumEnabled`
if [ $enabled = "true" ]; then
kwriteconfig6 --file kwinrc --group Plugins --key poloniumEnabled false
# Reconfigure KWin after disabling Polonium
qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin reconfigure
fi
I haven't tested these scripts and I'm not sure if anything odd might happen if you do the KWin "reconfigure" when changing activities, so you might need to test and play around with things. I can confirm that the kactivitymanagerd
stuff works in general though, as I've tested that generally and still have a VM configured with notification scripts as proof of concept that it works.
Thanks a lot! I'll try it out when I get time.
