Make app name more important than window title #9
Comments
hey there, @Sobak |
That would be absolutely great |
I found another issue with a current behavior. My scenario: I had Opera Browser opened and wanted to "teach" Wox to prefer switching to its window over opening new (actually, a new tab, but it's irrelevant). I typed "opera", "oper", "op", selected Opera result from Switcheroo and repeated until its weight was inreased enough. It worked, great. But here comes the problem: I had Facebook tab opened so for Wox, the title was "Facebook - Opera". Then I switched current tab to something else, let it be "Foobar - Opera" and it has default weight again. I fully understand it - "Facebook - Opera" is different result than "Foobar - Opera", but maybe flipping title with description, as I suggested, would solve this issue as well? |
This plugin does not weight the results, they are weighted by Wox. And as far as I'm aware (this should be checked though), Wox weights it based on the score of the Fuzzy Matcher + how often a specific result is chosen. I could force a recalculation of the score to match how the results arrive from Switcheroo itself. Totally offtopic |
Sure, I know that the core is responsible for weighting. I suppose, however, that each result is identified by the title, not the description. If I'm right, then "Facebook - Opera" and "Foobar - Opera" would have the same title of "opera" (application name) and their respective descriptions. Then they would be considered same result and weighting should work as expected. I might be wrong, though, so I'll try to Read The F... Source and come up with more useful thoughts. PS: I would also suppose launchers to be more popular on Windows - I might be biased but for me it's not "geek-only" kind of workflow. It's just convenient and has big potential. |
Sorry I cannot be more helpful right now. I will have more time to look into it during the weekend. |
Just updated Switcheroo to
@Sobak please report back once you have updated the Switcheroo plugin. You can do so by typing |
@Sobak regarding your comment about the weighting system... For each page it will be different. I believe Wox stores the weight for specific results. Again, this can be changed by some extra weighting. **Edit:**About that "extra" weighting... I think I could just nuke it completely and make all of them return the same score for it. I will now test what Switcheroo actually returns. Edit 2: right now its is not possible to pass unweighted results to Wox. Whatever I do, the This requires a change to Wox's |
App name swap is already implemented. Closing this up. As for the weighting, if it's still relevant for the current version of Wox, please create a new issue. |
Hello,
Switcheroo plugin is great - that's almosts exactly what I was mainly looking for when trying different launchers. Following is of course just a proposal and I'm aware that it might not be the most popular usecase or user's excectation ...though, I think it is and that's why I'd like to discuss it.
In my opinion in case of switching opened windows, user is mainly intereset in application name and not title of the window. For example, when trying to switch to the browser, this plugin focuses on the window title mostly - being title of currently focused tab. In my case, I don't exactly remember what page I was browsing and I just want to switch to the browser quickly.
There are, of course, opposite situations - e.g. when you have ten different windows of Windows Explorer opened and you want to switch to specific folder. I think, thought, that it still would be possible taking my suggestion into account - application name would be just more prefered.
I would also like to sugggest filping app name with windows title visually - to be consistent with that way of thinking.
One more time, this is just a humble idea - I would love to hear your thoughts, though.
