Hi,
I am using the wmii-hg2424. Whenever I try to open a second instance of
thunar, it always opens on a tag where the first instance is open.
To reproduce the behaviour:
1. Create a tag "test:1". Press Mod+p and type thunar.
2. Create a new tag "test:2". Press Mod+p and type thunar.
Does the second instance of thunar open on "test:2" or on "test:1". For me,
it opens on test:1. I am wondering if this is a "feature" of wmii or if
there is something in my config.
Hi,
This is because thunar apparently just spawns a new window that is from
the same process as the currently running thunar when re-run (you can
test this yourself by running two thunar windows and using pgrep to see
how many processes are running, i got only one). WMII opens all windows
from a process on the same tag, this is intended as a feature, yes.
I get the same behaviour with evince, eog, and few others, which becomes a
bit annoying at times. Is it possible to circumvent this feature using the
config magic?
