Description Steffen Pingel

If a task is activated that has a remote context and only one context is available that context should be downloaded and activated without going through the context wizard.

The idea is to get rid of the message dialog and embed the entire workflow in the context wizard. Clicking the link displays the table with all available contexts. The problem is that the wizard adds a lot of clutter with the extra messaging and icon in the title area. Any ideas how to improve that?

The alternative would be to not use a wizard and to implement a custom messaging dialog with a progress bar to display the download progress for the context attachment.

I couldn't find a good way to make this work with a wizard dialog. I opted to embed progress reporting in the message dialog instead similar to how wizard dialogs do this.

Mik, can you review the wording?

UI review feedback:
* "Task Activation" -> "Activate Task"
* Remove "latest"
* "Select Context from History" -> "Show all contexts"
