Re: Metadome fix

It turns out that Metadome doesn't work if you compiled Ion with Xft
enabled. I'm working on a solution for this since the new version of
the Debian package will have Xft enabled.

Tuomo, the CF_XFT define should be in config.h instead of system.mk so
that modules will know whether it's enabled or not.

Re: Metadome fix

Fixed now. The patch and the archive at the link I gave now has Xft
support. Remember to put -DCF_XFT or something in Metadome's makefile
if you compiled Ion with Xft support.

Re: I've made the evh patch (for MeTaDoMe) apply to ion-devel-20021229


Iiiiiiiek!

Now ion gives a Sig11 everytime I press Alt-C to close Programms or to
delete emty frames!

Is anybody else using ion-devel with this Patch an MeTaDome?

Patch : 'best-fit' algorithm to place window in frame

Hi all,

as I posted a week ago or so, I have implemented a small patch to the
current ion-devel that uses a 'best-fit' algorithm rule when looking for
the frame where to place a new client window. This rule  is based
on a comparison between frame size and the client window 'natural' size (i.e.
the size it would have without window manager intervention).
This rule is only used in absence of 'target' specifications and if the
currently active frame does not 'fit enough'.

More details and the patch can be found at   
  http://space.virgilio.it/fbochicchio <at> virgilio.it/Ion/ion-bestfit-patch.html.

Ciao

Is your package already uploaded ? My apt-get dist-upgrade didn't show
it

Newbie Question: how to set the 'target' attribute ?


Hello everyone,

I have a newbie Question I'm afraid, but I haven't been able to solve
it using on-line doc (Wiki, FAQ, and such). Here goes:

I would simply like to use MyKludges config (adapted to my needs) to
place the applications I use daily in the right frames. But I don't
understand how the *target* setting works, i.e.
#+v
winprop "galeon_browser.Galeon" {
  target "Web"
}
#-v

How do I set the *target* so that my window ends up in a specific frame
? What does this "Web" represent ? Is that the name I should give my
frame in ~/.ion/workspaces-0:0.conf ?
#+v
vsplit 377, 647 {
  frame "Web"
    frame 314
}
#-v

Because that doesn't seem to work :O(

Curious,
Simon

a) you need to use ion-devel for target to work and ion-devel has a
different winprop format, i.e. winprop "galeon_browser.Galeon" will not
work. It has to be winprop "Galeon", "*", "galeon_browser" {....

b) there is a function called query_renameframe which you have to bind to
a key in the frame_bindings section. This will let you name/rename a frame

It wasn't, but I've uploaded it to my apt source now. I've also
submitted it to my sponsor for inclusion in Debian but it's not there
yet. The ion-devel package update shouldn't take too long to get into
Debian but I don't know if or when Metadome will be included.
