i have xev in my no swallow file but it still gets swallowed. tried adding sxiv to test and sxiv also gets swallowed. seems to me like the noswallow files gets ignored

Somewhat late, but this is what worked for me. Replace this line (currently line 38):

grep -q "^$(get_class "$swallowerid")$" ~/.config/bspwm/{noswallow, terminals} && return

with this line:

grep -q "^$(get_class "$swallowerid")$" ~/.config/bspwm/noswallow ~/.config/bspwm/terminals && return

Explanation: the script is trying to use some sort of syntactic extension by specifying ~/.config/bspwm/{noswallow,terminals} as a file to grep, which should be expanded by a shell into two separate paths. However, this seems to be a feature of a fish shell (?), whereas the script uses /bin/sh. On most systems, /bin/sh doesn't have this feature (mine is a symlink to dash).
