Great work, thanks!!! I was missing something like this very much.

[delfick]

some very nice attributes there :D

I post here a beta version:

http://hibbert.univ-lille3.fr/~cbellegarde/Compiz/winrules-0.4beta.tar.gz

It now works much better.

But you need to apply this patch to core:

While coding this plugin, i discover Anonymous Arrays!

In state plugin, to enable a window as compiz widget, we need an int declaration like this:

int val=-2;

and then call:
XChangeProperty (w->screen->display->display, w->id, compizWidget,
XA_STRING, 8, PropModeReplace,
(unsigned char *) &val, 1);

With Anonymous Arrays, no variable declaration needed, you can do:

XChangeProperty (w->screen->display->display, w->id, compizWidget,
XA_STRING, 8, PropModeReplace,
(unsigned char *)(int[]){-2}, 1);

What's this? :shock: C99?
I would rather not use such feature in a release code :)

Well, I have just found it described on
http://home.tiscalinet.ch/t_wolf/tw/c/c9x_changes.html
Sorry, it's surely absolutely OK to use this... I have only remembered how we were warned at school, some two years ago, from using new, however attractive, constructs, because "the world's leading compilers still don't understand it reliably". But the teacher believed the best C compiler is MSVC and he tried to discredit gcc anyhow :)

hi all,
just a question

How does the new matching code works??
I put class=gnome-terminal on above or skiptaskbar and it does nothing...
Same for Gnome-terminal. Do i need something else too to make it work ???

Also i can not do any debugging on compiz. I get a segfault on libGlcore.
Can i overcome this somehow ???

Thanks in advance...

This is managed by the regex plugin, compiz core alone takes care of "xid", "state" and "type" checks only.
The class name is the latter told by xprop, i.e., Gnome-terminal.

@gnumdk: Thanks for the 0.5, I didn't notice it when it was released. It works perfectly and the options enabled by action restrictions are very useful!

but i have regex loaded

[Vasek]

Pardon then. Does an "any" match work? If it does, do the non-regex ones (e.g., type=Normal)?

[iznogood]

tried type=Normal on skiptaskbar without any effect
Does it work for you ??

[gnumdk]

Yes, it works here!

Are you sure winrules is really loaded?

[iznogood]

ok i did it :lol:
I just mistyped put wrong string in params
(i put [class=Gnome-terminal] when it needed class=Gnome-terminal)

Very good job gnumdk

Only a minor thing though. Using xprop on nautilus i get
WM_CLASS(STRING) = "nautilus", "Nautilus"

however only Nautilus works...Is this a bug in regex ???
I do not think that class names need to be case sensitive or at the least maybe we can use a param for that ???

[Haisen]

Yes, it works here!


Is possible to set multiple classes or types for a single match?

[Vasek]

Is possible to set multiple classes or types for a single match?
Surely, here is an example mentioned in the source code:
!type=dock & (state=fullscreen | state=shaded)
A match for multiple types only can be specified simpler, although I'm not sure whether this is not subject to change:
Toolbar | Menu | Utility | Normal | Dialog | ModalDialog

I just update link of 0.6, it was a dead link :(

I think that's because the XClassHint structure has to members, res_name and res_class and regex compares 'class=' with res_class.
