[Bug 239685] Re: not all windows managed by window manager plugin

 

Before reporting I was trying to figure out window names to check if
maybe they're matched by the plugin by a window name and not by an
application name. It seems to be difficult...

I was also wondering - what about multiple windows of the same app?
Window manager is useful if you are able to choose not only the last
focused app, but to have a choice of all open windows - imagine any
document-based application (whether already working with the plugin -
like Inkscape - or another, like Evince).

Multiple windows of tabbed browser are, IMHO, even bigger issue - I can
imagine (I don't know whether its doable, I can't code myself) typing
"Inkscape" (Evince is tougher: this name is used almost nowhere) and
scrolling down to select the windows I'm looking for by document name.
How to name windows with multiple open tabs (to be more meaningful than
current tab name)?

I haven't used Quicksilver, I guess they may have some solutions (if
difficult to implement), but I just wanted to comment on this bug just
to keep things in one place.
