Hi, Currently the Unity launcher in Natty does not offer any way to restore minimized windows if another window from the same application is opened (the scale plugin is invoked instead, considering only non-minimized windows).
I suppose this is because it's just an alpha, but what is the intended behavior in the final version? Making the scale plugin include minimized windows the same way it includes non-minimized windows, I think it's a bad idea. Minimized windows are in a different state and that should be visually shown. I'm attaching an ugly, made-in-five-seconds mockup with a suggestion: when an icon is clicked in the launcher and some windows of the app are minimized and some are not, the launcher shows the minimized ones as icons below. That way the user knows which windows will be restored and which ones will be just focused when selected. It also gives less trouble to compiz by not asking it to generate previews for minimized windows. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
