[Pharo-project] A request or suggestion.
I'm still not realyl understanding the pharo Morph stuff. So I just want to ask. Would it be possible/feasable to group windows. E.g I'd have a group of Workspaces a group of Browsers etc. Currently if the windows just pop open it's hard to find a workspace one may be interested. If there would be a group this should be much easier. Regards Friedrich
Check the settings because you can say to the window manager that it should stagger or position them in another way. Else have a look at TWM Stef

So what option are you referring to? Regards Friedrich -- Q-Software Solutions GmbH; Sitz: Bruchsal; Registergericht: Mannheim Registriernummer: HRB232138; Geschaeftsfuehrer: Friedrich Dominicus
Hello, TWM stands for Tiling Windows Manager, check screencasts at the author's blog to see it in action: http://magaloma.blogspot.com/. I think it could cover you needs pretty well ;) On Mon, Jul 25, 2011 at 9:50 AM, Friedrich Dominicus < frido@q-software-solutions.de> wrote:

I think I know what Friedrich means, groups of items under a single taskbar entry (with popup shortlist). Unfortunately there is no formal mechanism for identifying individual windows as belonging to a a group. Any window can have whatever title/label it wants, models are not either present or identical for the same "type" of window etc. Could introduce a "taskbar type" perhaps, maybe TWm does something similar for grouping.

Yep TWM detect some types of windows, browsers, workspaces, monticello and propose a menu to list them and tile only this type. By the way, this could be cool to enable arbitrary window group in TWM ;) On Mon, Jul 25, 2011 at 6:06 PM, Gary Chambers <gazzaguru2@btinternet.com>wrote:

Actually in TWM windows groups are defined in TilingWM, windows protocol, based on SystemWindow model class. For example: TilingWM>>browsers ^ self windowsOfModels: #(Browser OBSystemBrowser OBCodeBrowser NautilusUI NautilusUI2 MessageListBrowser FinderUI). TilingWM>>monticellos ^ self windowsOfModels: #(MCTool MCPackageManager). We can enable "custom" groups, should be quite easy (using a pragma and / or system settings), I don't know if it's useful.
