Re: [Zim-wiki] Request for Enhancement - zim Linux - Always on Visible Workspace ?
Hello, and thanks for your kind willing to help. I do have wmctrl on my system and I am able to set the sticky attribute for the zim window using the following command: wmctrl -r My main wiki - Zim -b add,sticky This is Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.6 with GNOME2. There is a limitation though: When using the Tray Icon plugin you can close the zim window without shutting down zim. I find this very handy. In this case when you close the zim window its sticky attribute gets lost and you have to set it again next time the zim window is opened from the Tray. Maybe trayicon.py is where a GTK call to set the sticky attribute is needed, but I do not have the python skill to do it. mario On 07/21/2015 11:29 AM, SultansOfSwing wrote: Hello, perhaps the tool wmctrl is available on your system?

Hello, Personally I would refrain from implementing such platform-specific thing (you know, all platforms except Linux don't have a ) into Zim. I'd suggest to use a Linux tool to speak to your window manager, for instance 'devilspie' should fulfill all your window-managing needs.

Re: [Zim-wiki] Request for Enhancement - zim Linux - Always on Visible Workspace ?
Thank you for the advice. I tried compiling devilspie - it has dependencies for packages not available on my system. This is a company owned workstation and I am not authorized to add packages. I imagine this is common for professional users. That's why I am looking for a solution inside zim. I see your point about platform specific extensions. But such an option could be conditionally available only when running on Linux, or might be implemented via a plug-in, don't know. As I understand the mod is close to one liner code change, I would be happy to apply it locally if I only knew where to change the source. Thanks anyway, mario On 07/20/2015 11:06 AM, SultansOfSwing wrote: Hello, Personally I would refrain from implementing such platform-specific thing (you know, all platforms except Linux don't have a ) into Zim.
