Save personalized window properties
leukipp opened this issue · comments
I am working on another application that saves personalized window/monitor properties and reloads these properties when the window is re-opened at a later time.
The new application is to be used either stand-alone or as a complement to cortile. The reason for this is that I do not want to bloat the cortile source code and the associated configuration file too much.

Actually it was less work than expected, so I added some of the features directly into cortile.
At the moment the new features only work well on XFCE, other environments will be evaluated in upcoming releases.

Starting with version v2.3.0 the window positions and sticky states are saved and restored by cortile, based on the window class name.
For more advanced customization of window properties based on window title, time of the day, workspace configuration, etc. please check out the alternative suggested in #21.
Any window that is marked as sticky on a given monitor will be again sticky when reopened. This function is not exactly the same as the one discussed in #17, but it may already cover some of the use cases.
Tested on Xfce and Openbox environments, closing it for now!
