How to save/modify order of manually ordered taskbar/task manager in Kubuntu?
I'm new here and use a French locale, so, sorry if I don't use the right terms for designing the UI elements.
I'm on Kubuntu 18.10, and the issue I have is with the task manager (the bar at the bottom of the screen listing all open apps).
I have set it to "order it manually" but the trouble is that each time plasmashell restart (after a reboot, a crash, or just manually), the apps are ordered randomly, and I have to manually reorder them. It can be a pain if I'm fidgeting with some plasmoids.
So, two questions :
1/ Can I save the task bar order while keeping the manually ordered setting ? (I don't want to use "alphabetically", "by desktop", or "by activity")
2/ If not, how can I reorder them through command line (having a script to launch each time isn't a trouble) ?
I already looked all over the web, and in dbus to use scripting, but without success. I'm hoping a tool like wmctrl exists, but for the taskbar.
Thanks in advance !
