1) be able to report progressCould you elaborate on this? I've been thinking about what an improved notification api would look like for a while, and this sounds like one of the things I bundled with notifications. What I mean to say is that this feature may be misplaced if it is part of the session manager. That said, I'm not 100% sure what you mean by this, so we may be thinking of different things.
I haven't implemented it yet but my idea is that it sends a message to the session manager who update a status bar in the shut-down window... If its not connected to the shut down process it should be no problem to connect it to a notification service.
What I'd like is to use it as a kind of project manager. I stack&tile somerelated windows (a terminal; a text editor; a tracker window may be an usual case for me when developping an app). I'd like to save this group explicitly, and be able to load it later, with windows in the sameposition, and showing the same data. I think the group could be marked in the Deskbar in Expander mode, each expander group being a S&T group insteadof an application.This is similar to what I was thinking. I would like the ability to set up different profiles that I can switch between. A coding profile, for instance, might have a terminal open with a tab for vim and a tab in my projects folder, as well as Web+ open for bug tracking and googling. A haiku-coding profile would be similar, but could open dev.haiku-os.org in Web+ and move the terminal to my haiku source directory.
it could be a little bit tricky, e.g. single launch application could already be part of another S&T group and tracker is also just one application...
