I tried this on my pc (archlinux with gnome 41.5) where the original extension was not compatible and with this it seems work good! |
|
@Fmstrat if you've got some time could you review? It's a pretty trivial change and it seems to be working for at least 3 people. |

Hi! Just updated to Ubuntu Desktop 22.04 LTS from the previous short-term Ubuntu version. Sadly, WinTile is listed as "not supported by the current GNOME version" in the Extensions application. I suppose there's a way to bypass that somehow, given that people have been able to install WinTile on GNOME 42? |
Not sure if it's the best way but it works. Go over to the normal extension page for wintile, instead of the on/off button you can see a download picker a bit further down in the box. Select the latest you can, probably shell 40 version 7. After downloading the zip file, open it and edit the manifest.json and add The files should be in that folder you just made, not a folder in that folder. Now reboot your computer or log in and out and then run |

I am on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS , GNOME 42.0 This extension just makes GNOME usable for me :) |
|
Tested also on my Ubuntu 22.04 / Gnome-Shell 42 and works like a charm, thanks! |
|
@Fmstrat Do we have any strong reasons to not merge this PR? I think it would benefit us all |
|
I think @Fmstrat isnt actively maintaining this repo anymore, tge last commit is from months ago :/ |
|
This guy here forked the project and merged the commits. Use this instead. |
|
Thanks, will use this now! |
According to the link in the Readme of this repo, one should be able to install the extension via this link: However, this not a valid url and creating of issues is not possible in this repo. So unfortunately, this does not really look like an alternative. :-(. |
|
@DanielGlaas You will have to install it manunally. Download the Enable it |
|
@Kerwood : Thank you for your quick reply. Thank you! |
|
Can anyone merge this? |
|
For anyone following @DanielGlaas 's helpful instructions (thank you!), you need to log out of Ubuntu and then log back in before the "enabling it" step will work. You can also enable it from your browser here: https://extensions.gnome.org/local/. Look for "WinTile RELOADED":

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Approved. I also tested this in Ubuntu 22.04 with GNOME 42.5.
See my detailed WinTile Reloaded installation instructions here: How can I automatically resize a window to 1/4 of the screen and snap it to a corner in Ubuntu 22.04?, meanwhile, until this is merged.

Solved in #88 |
|
Now that WinTile reloaded is deleted (it was here: https://github.com/Captn138/wintile-reloaded), and WinTile still isn't updated in Gnome, how do we install WinTile? I'm stuck again. |
Go to the develop branch and look at the README.md there. Let me know if you need any changes to the wording. |
|
Here are my new instructions: #128 (comment) Using the Gnome extension page doesn't work, so the readme instructions don't work, because the version is set to only handle up to Gnome 40, but Gnome 42 and 42.5 are both out now. Ubuntu 22.04 is Gnome 42.5. Some of the bugs that WinTile Reloaded had fixed are still in WinTile, and unfortunately, WinTile Reloaded is now deleted. |
Manually installed on my system using gnome 42, tried it out, seems to work.
I'm new to wintile so it's certainly not thorough testing but core snapping to 2 or 4 columns with keyboard shortcuts appears to work properly.
