Description Henning 2023-09-28 11:52:57 UTC

I want to report this as multiple seperate bugs.

Problem:
You open the kwin rules page FROM the decorations of a running program. So it should be clear what program it is, and some fields are also already filled like the title.

Wanted:
There are more important parameters, for example the role of the window, the size etc.
When opening the kwin rules dialog, it should have more fields like size etc filled out.

This would make exact destinction of the program and the type of window easier.

Specified App:
kf5-kwindowsystem-5.109.0-1.fc38.x86_64
kwin-libs-5.27.8-1.fc38.x86_64
kwin-common-5.27.8-1.fc38.x86_64

This is already implemented.

When you open the settings page from an application menu, if you press "Add Properties" the properties of that window are already detected and their values shown as a suggestion. When you add that property (ex. Size) to the rule it will take the value that the original window has.

Are those suggestions not working for you?

Comment 2 Henning 2024-07-23 20:44:27 UTC

yes these are working pretty fine.

Thanks for your time!
