Re: 1)Moving tagged windows to current WS. 2) Rearange WS's

£ukasz — 2011-01-04T20:57:49

I didnt say that I'm talking about pwm3 not ion3, that I think confused You. In ion its not problem becouse u have always frame you can attach to tagged windows/regions by "META+K"+"A" ( or whatever you defined). In pwm3 you have to specific object where you want to attach it. I get what i wanted to in pwm  by

local function tagged_move(obj)
local region=WMPlex.mx_current(obj)
ioncore.tagged_attach(region)
end

runed in WScreen section.




 thanks, WMPlex.dec_index WMPlex.inc_index works exactly i want to, but again in pwm i had to speific correct region and wmplex.

What do you mean by rearanging?

  isolate this workspace from your session

  Note that I did not ever tried that. I just created one workspace

£ukasz — 2011-01-03T18:24:19

Hi ,
its me again :). Let say that i tagged few windows on some workspaces, i moved to another one and i want all tagged windows moved here. Simple function which do it is 


local function tagged_move(group)
   local region=WMPlex.attach_new(group,{type="WGroupWS",name="name",...})
   ioncore.tagged_attach(region)
end

it works ok when destination ws is empty, problems appears when its not. I think the nice way to do it woild be by using 'ioncore.tagged_first(true)' or 'ioncore.tagged_i()' but first one some how doesnt want to return tagged region. Im sure that there is some extremely simple solution for it so if somebody knows it  pls help.


My second question is if it's possible to rearange WS and how to do it?. Till now i havent had enough time to think about it but it wold be nice possibility

Best Regards

Thanks again, yep for sure should be META+R, but problem was in {x=10,y=10,w=100,h=100} now works fine.

I think that it should read:
WMoveresMode.rqgeom(_,{x=10,y=10,w=100,h=100})
(Not sure about the syntax right now, but the table has named entries.)

Second "R" should be pressed also with META in your example.

The triggered error probably wrote something to ion's stderr. I keep
ion's stdout and stderr explicitly to ~/.xsession-errors, so I can check
ion's output in case of bad bindings, kludges or other errors, that
occur in "safe environment" -- being triggered by some event.

Rezise window to fixed size.

Thanx, u are talking about ion3 not ion2 but any wy i just moved to ion3 and i have the same problem. Trying to set key to rezise windowes to fixed size, so ok i use WMoveresMode functions 

defbindings("WMoveresMode", {
   ...
   ...
   ...
   kpress(META.."R",     "WMoveresMode.rqgeom(_,{10,10,100,100})"),
})

Let say that META+"R" switches to 'resize' mode. So now pressing META+"R" than "R" shold rezise window ... buy nothing happen, other functions like WMoveresMode.resize(_,...)  works ok. So where is mistake in this example.

You should use correct binding (i.e., binding for WFrame or something

Re: Saving/restore session

Sylvain Abélard — 2010-12-26T11:48:11


As Etan said you have to use a SM or other personal tricks to only
launch / restore the apps you need.
Once your layout frames have names, and you know your favorite apps'
names and classes via xprop, you can setup kludges.

You can find examples for kludges.lua files on the Net:
 http://aperiodic.net/phil/configs/ion2/kludges.lua
 http://daelstorm.thegraveyard.org/ion2/ion2.html

Some apps may or may not have X names and classes, or they may be duplicate.
The typical example is emacs : if you want to open several windows in
different places,
you have to set command-line args to set them. The kludges then work as a charm.

Re: Saving/restore session

Etan Reisner — 2010-12-23T02:34:43

Right, application information isn't saved.

You need a session manager (and SM aware applications) to have
applications automatically saved and restored.

Getting applications to start in the correct frames when they do start up
(manually or automatically) requires winprops/kludges be set up (as was
previously mentioned).

Re: Saving/restore session

Sylvain Abélard — 2010-12-22T07:58:09

Hi,


Both versions save workspaces' layouts to lua files, when doing clean exits.
IIRC both provide with a menu option to save / load workspaces in that file.

~/.ion2/default-session/workspaces.lua
~/.ion3/default-session--0/saved_layout.lua

What I did was saving the layouts I like then removing write
authorizations on that file with chmod so it wouldn't get overriden on
exit.


Happy tiling,

Olof Johansson — 2010-12-22T04:29:57

The workspaces shouldn't be a problem, just do a "clean exit" or
save the session manually (ioncore.snapshot()). 

Having applications start in the "right" frame is another problem
though. I understand that it can be solved with kludges etc, but 
I haven't bothered so I can't help you unfortunately. Other people 
on the list probably knows.

Would it be possible to merge with Notion, or are there strong
philosophical or architectural differences here?

I'm concerned that forking the code in two different directions
will lead to
   a) confusion for everyone
   b) bugfixes of one not going into the other

I would prefer if Notion and Anion provided different make
configurations to provide their different feature sets (if
that's wanted), rather than forking the base, which would
benefit from having both developers maintain it together.

No problem - I'll try and see if i can get hold of the google code project 
owner. 

(I never saw this project before - I'm not even sure it's the same 'notion', as
I don't see any code or information in that project at all...)

Arnout Engelen — 2010-11-13T10:44:11

I was wondering about the same thing a while ago. While at that point notion
had little code, anion had been stalled for a good while also and notion 
seemed much more active in terms of community interest and discussion.

Aside from the mailinglist, there is a #notion IRC channel - not very active,
but not completely dead either.


Uh, what repository are you looking at?

The notion repo is can be found at sourceforge git, 
http://notion.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=notion/notion;a=summary

It has the full ion history, some patches, and I actually checked in a bugfix
just 2 days ago.


Kind regards,

Excerpts from Arnout Engelen's message of Sat Nov 13 11:44:11 +0100 2010:

Erm, sorry for badmouthing the project then - I based my comments on 

http://code.google.com/p/notion/

which is quite dead, I had no idea there's a fairly active SourceForge project
