Plasma 6 Port (#23)

x11: works perfectly

wayland: works for the most part.
Status:

• Edge gaps are not working on some specific windows.
• Windows can't be maximized (confirmed)
• Fixed: Installer was using v5 of the packaging tools so it couldn't be installed through the script

Very cool, thanks a lot! I hope I'll get around to taking a look at it soon.

[v3ss0n]

working and looks good to me , please merge?

Works on X11, does not work on wayland

[materemias]

The port doesn't handle windows moved from one monitor to the other properly: when nearing the edge of the monitor it constantly shrinks the size of the window

[cquasar]

Did not work on Wayland and after ./install.sh it does not show under Kwin Scripts on System Settings
Arch Linux
Plasma: 6.0.3

I am running it on Wayland. What are you experiencing? No effect at all? Or just buggy?

[mashrit]

Does it work for you?
For me, when I maximize a window it just stays the same size and becomes maximized within the same space.

There is no effect at all

When I install I get:

./install.sh
kf.package: Invalid metadata for package structure "KWin/Script"
Package type "KWin/Script" not found
Successfully installed /home/clint/CODE/tile-gaps-plasma-6-port

I look for it on Kwin Scripts and it is not in there

you can use the package.sh script to generate tile-gaps_v8.1.kwinscript. That can be installed from file.

In the install.sh the code is

#!/bin/bash
name=$(grep -oP '"Id":\s*"[^"]*' ./metadata.json | grep -oP '[^"]*$')
kpackagetool5 --type=KWin/Script --install . || kpackagetool5 --type=KWin/Script --upgrade .
kwriteconfig5 --file kwinrc --group Plugins --key "$name"Enabled true
qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin reconfigure

change it to

#!/bin/bash
name=$(grep -oP '"Id":\s*"[^"]*' ./metadata.json | grep -oP '[^"]*$')
kpackagetool6 --type=KWin/Script --install . || kpackagetool6 --type=KWin/Script --upgrade .
kwriteconfig6 --file kwinrc --group Plugins --key "$name"Enabled true
qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin reconfigure

I could resolve this by commenting out the subscription to frameGeometryChanged signal in onRegeometrized function

Hey if anyone wants to contribute, feel free to commit to the PR, I don't mind.

*updated the packaging tools version

[cquasar]

After the fix in the packaging tools versions I installed it and could see it under Kwin Scripts.

It does not work though. I cannot maximize nor "tile" my windows anymore. When I try to maximize the window it does not change its dimensions and position at all even though its "status" become maximized. When tilling it does not work and nothing happens.

With applications started with GDK_BACKEND=x11 the script works fine.

thanks, I have experienced the "maximize" problem too, so it's now confirmed. I am keeping the list of issues updated in the description.
