not working on Gnome 49

[root9191]

Hello, is there any fix for newest Gnome Version 49 already? I only updated metadata.json with the actual Version, the Extension is active but it doesnt work anymore.

Can confirm the same here. I hadn't used it before... strangely I had no issues with windows staying in the right place (at least the ones I cared about)... but updating to 49, that doesn't happen. So I installed this extension and updated the metadata and yeah - sadly not doing its job.

+1 Would also like to be able to use this again on Gnome 49 :)

It does for me - what OS ? Fedora 43 I tested in a VM

Thanks for the suggestion but unfortunately this doesn't work for me. It does more than the base one here, which appears to do basically nothing - the one you linked at least identifies the windows and it looks like TRIES to move them, but they end up in the wrong spots and sizes. Thank you for the suggestion anyway.

I'm on fully updated CachyOS, just for reference.

The settings need to be converted as they are in different gconf locations:

1st: dump the settings from this extension to a file: dconf dump /org/gnome/shell/extensions/smart-auto-move/ > smart-auto-move.dconf

2nd load the settings from this one into the new one: dconf load /org/gnome/shell/extensions/SmartAutoMoveNG/ < smart-auto-move.dconf

This moves the settings from this extension to the linked one ...

1. you check if the extension is loaded. with the extension tool (there are usually error messages when an extension has problems)
2. check the settings of the extension
3. you can overtake the settings from this one to the linked one - like i described above.

and be more specific what exactly does not work

It is active in Extension Manager but the Button doesn't turn green:

And therefor nothing happens when i try to save a new Window. I also resetted the Settings to default and tried to load the dconf Settings from other Extensions but still nothing happens, which means the Windows always opens centered on the Screen.

Did you try to log out and re-login after installing the extension ? Both should not be active at the same time btw

Wow i just rebooted and now it seems to work. Some Windows needed to be configured new, but the Rest looks pretty good. Thank you very much!

Still showing as incompatible with GNOME 49.

No, it won't for me. Fedora 43, running system on real hardware. Gnome really cooked something about window position (or messed). Change version in js won't help either.

It does not matter VM or real hardware. And there is also no need to change anything in js (or json). Did you read all the comments in this post ? Plenty of advice was already written

[khimaros]

i have been working on a major refactor and feature release which completely changes the algorithm for window tracking and restore. i've been testing extensively and it will be released in the next day or two.
