workspacer
Workspacer seems to disable itself sometimes
I don't know how to reproduce it right now, but what I observe is windows suddenly don't minimize themselves when changing workspace. However, windows in the selected workspace come up as expected. I think that is the behaviour that the option "enable/disable workspacer" produces when you press it in the drop menu after right clicking the workspacer icon in the tray. Indeed, I can resolve the issue by clicking the "enable/disable workspacer" option which is a toggle, hence workspacer is re-enabled.
Version: 0.9.10
I can confirm the issue, I use alt + q to restart workspacer. Also when resetting often the windows can get lost and then need to be killed with the Task Manager.
That's 2 reports in short time... after having no such reports for a long time. That's alarming!
Could this be a recent regression? Can any of you confirm if you have this issue or not with version 0.9.9?
I've looked at it and there is no release for that version number. I didn't want to look into how to compile the project, so I didn't confirm yet. Is that just a matter of inserting the solution in Visual Studio? If so, I'll try that.
Well, I get an exception while launching the program after building the solution. I don't have the energy to dig into this. If I could have a binary release to test it, I could answer your question. In the meantime, Workspacer is almost unusble I feel...
@sim590 releases are available on github, scoop and chocolatey, so you should be able to get it installed quite easily. If you're still experiencing this issue do let me know and I'll have a look
Since my last message, I have found a way to reproduce the issue. For me, I just have to keep alt pressed and successively press esc then j. This will trigger the weird state that I described above where windows from the last visisted workspace will still be displayed and not be minimized or hidden while windows from the current workspace will also show up. More precisely, do the following:
- Place two windows in workspace 1
- Place 1 window in workspace 2
- Hit alt+esc, alt+j
- Go to workspace 1, then notice that window from workspace 2 is still displayed.
This state can be reverted by hitting alt+esc, alt+j again. Then, to make windows disappear, simply visit all the workspaces successively and notice how the windows will fall back in their respective workspace.
