I don't have much trouble figuring out which properties I want it
to remember. But I don't really understand the choices in: Remember using...
And the choices are:
1)Window name and class
2)Title
3)Window Role
4)Window type
5)Transience
I think however that Title refers to that label that shows up in the
bar at the top of the window... I do know that for windows where that
is a stable value I can generally get "remember" to do what I want by
selecting title in the Remember using section. However some
applications regularly change that label which I "think" is here
called Title... If they only do this AFTER they start up then there
isn't any problem As by the time it changes the window has already
been "remembered" in the correct screen position and size on the
correct virtual desktop.
But some applications remember things from their last session and
incorporate them into the initial {Title?} of the new window as it
opens. One such application I'll use as an example is ksnapshot.
Which I like to find tucked away in the upper left corner of on virtual desktop
3
I thought I had succeeded. I had also checked "start this program on
login" box and noted that it was there each time I started e17 for
weeks. Then I had occasion to take a snapshot. I quickly switched to
desktop 3 with <crtl>+<F4> & initialized the snapshot capture etc...
And every thing was good.
Except that next time, instead of opening with the {Title?} of
Snapshot1.png-ksnapshot the window was now labeled
11RogersRd2.png-ksnapshot. And even though remember did start the
application on login it didn't recognize where to put it. Since
desktop 0 is the first initialized desktop, the application wound up on the
center of that screen. Which is NOT what I wanted...
When I tried to do a "remember" without using "Title" I got a
warning that it wouldn't be able to distinguish the window from
others... <sigh>
So I'm hoping that someone would explain (or point me at a good
reference) just what each of those "remember using" choices are
supposed to do. And/or how to get "remember" to remember using the
application (or effective initialization command string) loaded into
the window rather than the label at the top...
If it maters I'm currently using e17 under Sabayon Linux 4.2 x86-64
installed from the kde version installation dvd into which I installed
e17 via entropy.
