wmclass regex clash

Closed this issue 5 years ago · 4 comments

When having wmclass Google-chrome called, it also triggers Google-chrome-beta. It shouldn't happen, as it gets impossible to call only Google Chrome, without calling Google Chrome Beta.

Example:

<Shift>F1,gtk-launch google-chrome.desktop,Google-chrome,
<Shift><Alt>c,gtk-launch google-chrome-beta.desktop,Google-chrome-beta,

Clicking Shift+F1 in my case always calls (circles) Google Chrome Beta as well.

Can this be fixed?

Thanks for the bug report, this really seems as the run-or-raise fault. I'll try to fix it in few days.

I considered everything and finally made no change to the code. Just use regular expressions, that's the perfect solution:

<Shift>F1,gtk-launch google-chrome.desktop,/Google-chrome$/,
<Shift><Alt>c,gtk-launch google-chrome-beta.desktop,Google-chrome-beta,

Brilliant, I didn't know you can use regex there.

Thanks.
