Floating Window Exceptions dialogue is tiled by default on Wayland

[erazemk]

This is more of a feature request, than a bug (tried using chat.pop-os.org but got stuck with "No teams are available to join").

My proposition is to add the pop-shell-exceptions (the exception chooser) WM_CLASS to floating window exceptions. I haven't found a way yet to add it by myself since it only shows other windows and doesn't allow to manually specify a WM_CLASS.

Why change the class?

Not change the class, add the class to the list of exceptions, so that when you open the Floating Window Exceptions program it is automatically floating.

It's a dialog window, so it is floating by default.

I can't record it, since I'm on Wayland, but when clicking the "Floating Window Exceptions" button, it automatically opens it in tiling mode, not as a floating window. I have to manually press Win+G to make it floating.

I'm on Wayland and since the very beginning Floating Window Exceptions is always tiled. Can you have look into this?

[erazemk]

Any update on this? This issue is still present on Wayland and can't be bypassed, since you can't manually specify a class to add to floating window exceptions.

since you can't manually specify a class to add to floating window exceptions.

You should be able to do so by editing the config file at ~/.config/pop-shell/config.json.

Thanks :)

Edit: adding "class": "pop-shell-exceptions" doesn't work.

@erazemk Adding { "class": "pop-shell-exceptions" } inside float works for me (on Ubuntu 22.04). Anyway it should really be floating by default.
