Re: missing workflows with gnome-shell



Hi, 
The name of the extension is workspace_win. But at the moment, I can't get it to create workspaces in the latest gnome-shell git version.
It looks like it is not possible to create workspaces outside the overview mode.

I'll try to have a look at it next week. And have it integrated in the extensions repo. 

Cheers, 
Thomas

An extension has been posted on this list some time ago that offers
something similar. In particular, it allows opening different apps on a
fixed workspace, which is if it doesn't exist (think of it as a sort of
devilspie).


Yes, in fact you had posted a link to the extension some time back in November I believe.  The link to the sample extension is:

http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-shell-list/2010-November/msg00036.html

Compliments to Thomas Bouffon for his work.

I'm using and loving it right now, with a configuration that sounds
like:
Chromium: Workspace 1
Evolution: Workspace 2
Rhythmbox: Workspace 3
GTG: Workspace 4

Those apps are autostarted when I log in, and the extension creates the
four workspaces and places them accordingly to the settings. If you only
need a fixed number of workspaces at startup you may modify it to suit
your needs.

If you are interested search the archive of the list for the extension.
I can't remember the topic, but I think it was posted by Thomas Bouffon,
if I am not mistaken.

Hope this helps you,
Alessandro
