Description ferweer 2020-01-19 04:03:56 UTC

SUMMARY
window settings for application name
This is the default, which will result in similar names appearing in the name list after adding many.
ISimilar to another suggestion, https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=416440, this is a suggestion to enhance the convenience of this window rule tab.
How is it?

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. systemsettings5>windows rules >windows rules

OBSERVED RESULT
App names follow similar naming conventions, making it difficult to identify which application is which

EXPECTED RESULT
Set the application name to the first display name, such as
application name ー windows settings

Operating System: Kubuntu 19.04

Hmm, one could argue that application name and window rule type should be in separate columns or that window rules and application rules should be in separate tabs. Please create a Phabricator task instead.

Generally, we use bugs.kde.org for our users. If a developer thinks that an issue is important enough to be tracked as a task in phabricator, I believe it is the developer's responsibility to add it there.

Comment 4 Vlad Zahorodnii 2020-01-21 13:04:14 UTC

Okay, I'll create a Phabricator task.

Thank you, I did not know Phabricator. I was worried about adding requests and suggestions there.

I first came up with it. If users create requested and proposed tasks on the site used by kde developers, will it interfere with development? not?
As you might expect, I am not a kde developer.
I really agree with having separate tabs. for rules or name. It might be even better if it can be sorted.
