Call for forks

[baruchiro]

Hi,

I see this project is not maintained for years.

But there are a lot of good forks, my suggestion is to select/create a new fork, and do all the changes from the other forks there.

Then create a community and so on.

See the forks here: https://techgaun.github.io/active-forks/index.html#https://github.com/adamsmith/WindowsLayoutSnapshot

OK, I'm taking it, please join me at https://github.com/baruchiro/WindowsLayoutSnapshot

I added you as a collaborator on this project so you can edit the README.md with a link to your fork if you would like. Thanks!

Hi @adamsmith , last night I thought about that... I don't think there is a real use case here, without the ability to restore closed Windows.

You know, taking a snapshot of my current windows, then, for example, reopen them after a restart.

I don't know if it is possible. What do you think?

[adamsmith]

Possible, if there is a heuristic matching previous windows to new windows. It would not always be correct.

When I used to run Windows as my OS I rarely restarted my machine. Not sure about the typical pattern for other folks.

[baruchiro]

Even if you don't restart your system, you still may save a snapshot of "Task A" windows, then move to "Task B", and then load saved "Home things" snapshot.

[adamsmith]

Yes that's a good point.

Hi my own fork is (kinda) active too, I wonder why it doesn't show up in that website.

I did a few patches to make it work on Windows 10 (#4) and with taskbar on the left side of the screen (closing #5).

Oh sorry, I misunderstood the meaning of your "I'm taking it" then. :)
