Hi,

I had to downgrade to v7.0.4 because in v7.1.0 my rules are not working anymore:

#!/usr/bin/env sh

# Global settings

yabai -m config \

MacBook Pro Max M2. I'm using only the tiling feature. System Integrity Protection is enabled on my system.

Found this #2230 (comment) :

yabai -m rule --apply

And it helped me

commented

There was a change in version 7.0.0 that changed how rules work. Now they only apply to windows opened after the rule is added.

Adding what @vsuharnikov has shared after declaring all the rules restores the older behavior.

commented

@PrayagS it doesn't really – if you restart yabai at any moment, it won't work anymore for existing windows (which I'm quite sure worked before). It seems like the proper equivalent would be BOTH --add and --apply. Is there a documentation for that? The https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai/wiki/Commands#window-commands wiki section doesn't cover the change at all.

Yeah that's what I meant. I declare all the rules using --add and then do --apply at the end as shown above.

Is there a documentation for that?

Yeah that's what I meant.

Understood, thanks! I was thinking maybe there's an alternative flag which does both at the same time, but consulting https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai/blob/master/doc/yabai.asciidoc#rule, looks like for now I'll have to use two commands per window too in .yabairc.
