GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 96087
Allow an entire window group to be moved between workspaces using the window list
Last modified: 2018-01-24 13:19:18 UTC
A couple of things I'd like to be able to do: - Move a window to a specific workspace from the switcher buttons, only option currently is "Put on all workspaces". This is inconsistent with the window menu on the window itself, apart from anything else. - Move a group of windows to a specific workspace (or all workspaces), which would be extremely useful for things like Glade and GIMP in particular

Created attachment 22988 [details] [review] First attempt to keep the tasklist menu in sync with window menu itself.

Havoc: Have done the "Move to specific workspace Index" part for now. Am having a look at how metacity does the "Move to Workspace Left/Right" thing. Guess the _NET_DESKTOP_LAYOUT calculation which is not currently present in the libwnck code needs to be done. In the meantime could you please have a look at the above patch and let know if it is okay to commit. Thanks.
Scanning quickly, it looks reasonable; be sure to put braces on their own line (I saw two cases of this) and avoid newlines after parentheses (one case). Be sure you're using latest CVS metacity for the copied code, and for the current window menu appearance.
Committed to HEAD after incorporating above comments. Also made sure that the copied code is taken from latest metacity sources. Thanks.
Created attachment 23591 [details] [review] some more syncing...
Created attachment 23592 [details] screenshot with left/up action menu item.
Haven't tried this out yet but looks good from the screenshot...
I haven't had a chance to look at the substantive aspects of the patch yet, but the braces and newlines aren't right ;-) Thanks, will try to look at the important bits soon.
Havoc: I took your comments for the previous patch the other way and didn't include barces on newline. Sorry for that. I will follow it religiously while committing this patch. Also the window menu for the window has a "On Top" action which I have not included in the actions menu for the window list.
Is an updated patch available? Should this be targetted for 2.7.x?
See also bug 135710 for the out-of-sync half of this bug. (This really should have been two separate bugs)
Moving to the right component. Sorry for the spam.
Ping.
Neither patch applies cleanly anymore; the first of the two patches was implemented elsewhere while the stuff in the second patch has not. If someone does work on this, though, please move it to bug 135710. Let's leave this bug for the move a window group between workspaces part.
Have attached an updated patch which will sync the window list menu's with the window context (metacity) menu to bug 135710.
