Window list with app grouping and thumbnails for Cinnamon

Icing Task Manager

This is a fork of the unfinished development branch of Window List With App Grouping applet, originally by jake-phy who forked the code from GNOME Shell Window List.

Changes from the original version

See the changelog.

Importing pinned apps from the Window List With App Grouping applet

Automatic

• Clone the repository or download importPinned.py.
• Run python importPinned.py

Manual

• Go to directory: ~/.cinnamon/configs/[e-mail]
• Open the JSON file with a text editor.
• Go to line 55, or to a block that starts with "pinned-apps".
• Select and copy the block beginning with "pinned-apps" and all of its contents between the brackets.
• Go to directory: ~/.cinnamon/configs/IcingTaskManager@json
• Open the JSON file, replace Icing configuration's "pinned-apps" block with the one you copied. Ensure only the key ("pinned-apps"), its brackets, and its contents are replaced. Make sure the ending bracket has a trailing comma. Do not change the filename.

Usage

You can install the applet from the Cinnamon Spices website.

There are many options in the applet's Preferences that cater to many users' different needs. If you find a problem with your theme, try toggling the options under Theme Settings.

In order to use Firefox bookmarks, you need to install the gir1.2-gda-5.0 package.
