OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED

Painted variant of the gui where the checkboxes may be added
SUMMARY
Wnen I am creating window rules for applications, I often need to temporary
disable and and then enable them, because I want to test how they behaves with
new rules. These "wrong" applications may behave strange, and I want to
frequently check if the problem exists when no rules applied. But for this, I
need to delete the rule (let's call it window selections, or please tell me how
it is named) or to enter it by clicking edit and remove specific rule.
This is rather annoying. It would be comfortable to enable or disable window
selections by checkbox, see attached image of how it may look.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
I am describing Davinci Resolve application, but you can imagine any other
"wrong" application.
1. Open Davinci Resolve, make some dialog window appear, such as parameters for
noise reduction effect. See that the window has no title and border, dislike
it.
2. Create window rule to force it to show border. Additionally, add rules you
like. In my case, I make it closable, and change its type to dialog. Save the
rule.
3. In Davinci Resolve open noise reduction dialog again. Switch to another
window such as web browser. See that dialog "disappeared" (went behind the main
application window).
4. I want to temporary disable some rules, for example I want to remove
closable rule and remove changing window type rule.
OBSERVED RESULT
No comfortable way to quickly enable/disable several rules.
Your options are to export the window selection to file, then delete the window
selection from list, then after tests import again from file. Or to remove both
rules from window selection, do tests, then specify rules again.
EXPECTED RESULT
Just tick the checkbox to toggle window selection enableness. With no need to
respecifying rules.
