FvwmRearrange -tile -r -mn 3 -maximize 0 0
Closed this issue · 15 comments
- Fvwm3 version (run:
fvwm3 --version)
fvwm3 1.1.1 (1.1.0-120-g3e0d960d)
Behaviour
Tile windows into columns and rows.
FvwmRearrange -tile -r -mn 3 -maximize 0 0 86 82
Does not work when numbers are added to maximize. Without numbers, it places all windows into columns without rows.
FvwmRearrange -tile -r -mn 3 -maximize
Read the manual page, the options and behavior of FvwmRearrange has been drastically changed. The single letter options no longer exist.
FvwmRearrnage -tile -reverse -max_n 3 -maximize 0 0 86 82 works just fine for me. Though you may want to check out the new features.
The issue is -mn is no longer an option, so the number in -mn 3 is read as part of the bounding box, so the bounding box is then used to be 3 0 0 86 which won't do anything. The bounding box logic has always been a bit fragile this way, this isn't new, what is new is the options have changed so the old options will cause odd issues.

Testing with default config, doesn't work. Manpage examples, only FvwmRearrange -cascade 10 2 80 70 works. Additional options with -tile don't work.
Are you saying there's something in the default config which references FvwmRearrange which doesn't work (i.e, a configuration problem), or something else?
Again, you need to take into account the changes made to FvwmRearrange as breaking.
The default config is fine. I am testing the different FvwmRearrange examples in the manpage.
OK. When you actually have something which might be an issue, let us know. Until then, please try and not muddy the waters.
The issue is that option -tile does not work. Option -cascade is ok.
But it has always been that way, @rasatpc -- that's not anything new. They're mutually-exclusive.
It worked fine until recent updates. I have been using option -tile for a long time.
The wiki has not been updated, use the man page. What do you mean the option '-tile' does not work, in my tests it does what it is designed to do.
What do you mean the option '-tile' does not work
I tried many options mentioned in the FvwmRearrange manpage. Some work, others not. Here is the list:
FvwmRearrange -tile -swap 10 10 90 90 (ok)
----
FvwmRearrange -tile -swap 0 0 35 100
FvwmRearrange 35 0 100 10
(ok)
-----
FvwmRearrnage -tile -swap -max_n 3 0 0 86 82 (no)
FvwmRearrnage -tile -max_n 3 0 0 86 82 (no)
FvwmRearrnage -auto_tile (no)
FvwmRearrnage -tile -reverse -max_n 3 0 0 86 82 (no)
Option -maximize is not mentioned in the manpage. I did a test and got my code to work with minor edits.
FvwmRearrange -tile -reverse -max_n 3 -maximize 0 0 86 82 (ok)
You have not clarified what doesn't work is doing. Also you should search the manual page better, -maximize is in the manual page.
Of course FvwmRearrnage -tile -swap -max_n 3 0 0 86 82 doesn't work, but if you spell FvwmRearrange correctly it does work.
somiaj:
FvwmRearrnage -tile -reverse -max_n 3 -maximize 0 0 86 82works just fine for me
I copied your spelling error. :) With the correction, everything works fine. Also, I found the option -maximize.
Ahh sorry, silly me.
