0.4 (09.03.2009) - keep expanded: from the current desktop - keep expanded: all - polishing - correct item width when the stasks is full - better item expanding (no more crazy expanding ?) - initial light effects (for startup and attention -> will be better) - some optimizations
if i use kde 4.4.0 with stask on my panel the plasma-desktop crashes ..if i use the normal window list everything is fine? is this a bug in kde 4.4 or from stasks
i like these i hope it will not die
Check out SmoothTasks, a branch of this. It's under active development.
If the author ever comes back: great plasmoid, I love how configurable it is compared to default plasma task viewer. Thanks!
This would truly be a shame, I have sincerely enjoyed stasks. I may go back to KDE 4.3 here because of it. It doesn't work with KDE 4.4. I don't like the old toolbar that looks like Vista. Please developers release a version that works with KDE 4.4, please.
Hello!
Somebody Alex P from the site http://welinux.ru has collected package for Debian x86_64.It is to the address http://rapidshare.com/files/331806190/plasma-stasks_0.5.1-1_amd64.deb.html.Please, add the link to it in the description of plasmoid =)
Excuse, for my bad English.
Hi, Thanks for this great widget :)
I've been using stasks in kdemod on chakra linux, but after switching from kdemod to kde trunk, the kdemod package doesn't work , so i tried to compile stasks , but make command fails and gives me this error:

First off I'd like to say this is an awesome plasmoid with some great features and options (the ability to choose to collapse all or just other desktops' tasks into icons = brilliant)
However there is apparently a bug which causes plasma to crash and not come back up.

Hi, add please an option to expand task when windows caption is changed when inactive, it is good eg when a communication program changes windows caption to show that there's a new message. It also could disable expanding after becoming active.
We adopted the patch from ZaWertun and stasks is now working again in Kubuntu Karmic. Thanks for publishing this solution.
A Jaunty package working with 4.3 is in my PPA:
https://edge.launchpad.net/~neversfelde/+archive/ppa
Stasks is dead. Long live Smooth Tasks...
The Arch Linux PKGBUILD packages a for of stasks, called Smooth Tasks. You can follow its development on http://bitbucket.org/panzi/smooth-tasks/overview/ or get it from kde-look: http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php/STasks+patched?content=101586
Just to correct a misperception: I am not the developer of Smooth Tasks. I only wanted to point out why there were newer packages on Arch Linux.
I am happy to hear that you will continue your work. This is a great plasmoid. Maybe you should consider working together with the developer of Smooth Tasks, since he has already fixed bugs, added features and refactored the code a bit. See the links I posted above for the entry on kde-look and the git repository.
Thanks again, keep it up!

Hi. There's a problem with the Mandriva's rpm?! I can't have it... Thanks a lot Nico
I think STasks is dead, no update in almost one year. I use Smooth Tasks, it is better, works with KDE 4.4, is in development, the latest update was 3 days ago. http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/Smooth+Tasks?content=101586
if i use kde 4.4.0 with stask on my panel the plasma-desktop crashes ..if i use the normal window list everything is fine? is this a bug in kde 4.4 or from stasks i like these i hope it will not die
Somebody had said that Stasks will come back near KDE 4.4 release. KDE SC 4.4 RC1 is out there, but no new Stasks release :(
Check out SmoothTasks, a branch of this. It's under active development. If the author ever comes back: great plasmoid, I love how configurable it is compared to default plasma task viewer. Thanks!
This would truly be a shame, I have sincerely enjoyed stasks. I may go back to KDE 4.3 here because of it. It doesn't work with KDE 4.4. I don't like the old toolbar that looks like Vista. Please developers release a version that works with KDE 4.4, please.

Any chances that a deb will be available for karmic?
It's in karmic/universe now as package plasma-widget-stasks
Yep, have that installed. Sorry for not having this thread updated.

What is it? What does it do?
Yeah this is really cool, but Smooth Tasks does seem to be the "new" STasks! :)
Please have a look at: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=207812 I can reproduce this bug with openSuSE 11.2 and KDE 4.3.75. (plasmoid-stasks-0.5.1-10.11.i586)
Hi, add please an option to expand task when windows caption is changed when inactive, it is good eg when a communication program changes windows caption to show that there's a new message. It also could disable expanding after becoming active.
Any chance of getting the Staks may be a launch? Like Staks/Launcher?
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=207902 You can vote for it, if you want or write it, if you are so good.
I think STask must be part of KDE 4. It's a great application and emprove the user experience.

I meant "fork" (not "for"), of course.
I never told anyone that STasks is die. Thank you for your work. STasks is coming soon ;)
