[Feature Request] Set window position

Open ceiphr opened this issue 2 years ago • 4 comments

Hello! This extension is great!

My one gripe is that PiP windows always spawn roughly in the upper left of the screen. Is there a way to set them to always be spawned in the bottom right?

This would need some special treatment for Firefox only, as Clapper does not spawn a new window, just rearranges current one (so we do not want to move this one app position).

That makes sense! In researching this further, I found this extension that does the job!

https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/4736/smart-auto-move/

Would it make sense to add this to the README or extension description on GSE?

I would rather not explicitly mention someone else extension as extensions do not give warranty to work correctly with each other (i.e they can break each other or some apps in some way). I do plan to add config options to show PiP windows on all workspaces. Maybe then I can also add some window position settings for apps like Firefox, will see.

In the meantime lets keep this open with your suggestion as an example to get this working right now for others.

Sounds good!
