Qtile floating does not work.

agoodfellow123 opened this issue · comments

Hello there, I found out tdrop just today and wanted to try. It works well with bspwm when you enter --wm bspwm however the same thing with qtile does not work, here is the command I wrote, tdrop -m -a --wm qtile -w 70% -h 70% -x 15% -y 15% -n sPCalcurse alacritty -e calcurse it tiles the program regardless.

There is currently no support for qtile. Does qtile have the equivalent of oneshot rules like bspwm (e.g. float the next window that has the class alacritty)? If not, does it have a command to float the current window? If qtile does not have any way to interact with it from the commandline (a bspc equivalent), then I cannot add support for -a. You would have to manually create rules to float your dropdown with whatever mechanism qtile provides.

Hmm, I really don't know ins and outs out qtile that much so I can't say anything on the matter but thanks for clearing that out.

The preferred method for interfacing with qtile from the CLI appears to be qtile cmd-obj.
