Float small windows not working with GoLand popups?
System
- Amethyst version: 0.14.2 (76)
- macOS version: 10.14.5
What's the problem?
Unable to float small popups in GoLand, they become tiled immediately
How can it be reproduced?
Use GoLand and call a small window popup (ctrl-G for example, to go to a line number opens a small window) - Amethyst then tiles this instead of leaving it floating. The float small windows setting is enabled as well.
If you add Goland to the automatically float applications listed setting, then the entire app floats, when I'd like only the popups not to float.
What applications are involved?
Jetbrain's GoLand
Has anything fixed it, even temporarily?
No
What counts as a "small" window appears to be hard-coded: https://github.com/ianyh/Amethyst/blob/master/Amethyst/Model/Window.swift#L249 -- perhaps if this were configurable it could be used to exclude some of the GoLand pop-ups as well? I measured the GoLand pop-ups and they are a bit wider than 500px for me (779x484 px), so they don't qualify as small
noticed the same issue in Intellij for almost all its popups. Maybe it would be better to make all child / modal windows floating by default
It's unfortunately not that simple. Some applications just use normal windows for their "modals," so you can't reliably differentiate them.
I see, but they would have a parent, wound't they? I have no clue, I just imagine that there is some kind of hierarchy. Might be beneficial to add an user option to make all child windows floating by default.
Or may I suggest making the max height/width user configurable, as it is still hard coded to 500px
