i3 assign app to workspace

[cyrinux]

Hi Maxim,
Do you allready try and succeed to assign a app to a specific workspace when using i3-autoname-workspace.py?
I have weird behavior
Regards

[maximbaz]

Hey, i3-autoname-workspace.py is only about renaming workspaces, to assign app icons to the workspaces like that:

As for assigning apps to specific workspaces, this is supported by pure i3, it is done here:

dotfiles/.i3/config

Lines 18 to 24 in 57e538c

	for_window [class="Google-chrome"] move container to $workspace2, title_format "Google Chrome"
	for_window [class="Chromium"] move container to $workspace2, title_format "Chromium"
	for_window [class="Wire"] move container to $workspace3
	for_window [class="Slack"] move container to $workspace3
	for_window [class="Thunderbird"] move container to $workspace4
	for_window [instance="TeamViewer.exe"] move container to $workspace9, floating enable
	for_window [class="xfreerdp"] move container to $workspace9

Hmm, I will retry, thanks Maxim for your quick and complete reply yet.
I have missing something during previous test I thinks. Shame on me, I use to use i3.

Maxim, I think I have find what was my initial problem.
I have retry your rules, and it's work like a charm, but:

• I lose icon for floating app, like teamviewer for example. Is it an expected behavior?

I experience this too, but I never cared enough to investigate the cause 🙂 It was working for some time, and then with one of the i3wm upgrades it stopped working. If you want to investigate yourself, here's some info:

The i3-autoname-workspaces.py cannot find floating windows. Querying for all windows is happening here:

dotfiles/bin/i3-autoname-workspaces.py

Lines 51 to 54 in 57e538c

	for ws_index, workspace in enumerate(i3.get_tree().workspaces()):
	name_parts = parse_workspace_name(workspace.name)
	name_parts['icons'] = ' '.join(
	[icon_for_window(w) for w in workspace.leaves()]) + ' '

So the problem is either in i3 itself, or in i3ipc-python - the library that is used for communicating with i3 API.

If you find a solution, let me know 🙂

Thanks for info, i will search

For the moment I can say it works with i3ipc tag v1.3.0 and i3 4.14.1, current archlinux i3ipc version is git r173.1516924861.99cbe2a-1

[acrisci]

Try with the latest version I just released, 1.4.0, and let me know if it fixes it.

[cyrinux]

Sorry @acrisci the issue seems to be still here, what can I do for help you?

[maximbaz]

Fixed in the upstream 🎉
