When triggering the present window grid there are also all minimized windows shown and most of the time they also have a preview/live picture. When clicking on a minimized window, the grid disappears and then the window “jumps” out of the taskbar and then is visible/active.
It would be better to have the window coming directly from the grid, i.e. being resized to the full size directly instead of it being restored afterwards.

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Martin Flöser 2011-01-01 09:30:30 UTC
Just another case of effect conflict handling. Present Windows would have to set an unminimize grab which is honoured by all minimizing effects.

pre-unminimize

i don't think this is a dupe and intercom actually required in this particular case. see patch - it should be sufficient to jsut silently unminimize the window before activating it. Since minimize effects stay out (FS effect), it's just as if the window had been unminimized for showing up in PW (what's in a way true) and is now just not re-minimized...
Comment 3 Thomas Lübking 2011-01-01 16:14:45 UTC
ps: cover/flip switch could do that as well, i think?!
Comment 4 Martin Flöser 2011-01-01 16:45:29 UTC
I am not sure if the patch would work. I remember that when I tried the mouse 
interactions in present windows (un)minimizing triggered the minimize 
animations.

So a real solution would be better. Maybe it's enough to just look for 
fullscreen effects in minimize effect - that should cover also 
flip/cover/whatever.

general pre-unminimize patch

*blast* you're right. /my/ effects of course _do_ honour the fullscreen state ;-P

patch for present windows/coverswitch/flipswitch/minimize/magiclamp attached. did i miss one?

Does it need the changes in pw/cover/flip at all? All those effects should 
stay as fullscreen effect till the stop animation finishes. So when selecting 
a minimzed window through alt+tab the window gets activated, causing an 
unminimzing, but the fullscreen effect is still in place and by that not 
triggering minimize/magic lamp.

And yes you forgot at least one effect: Desktop Grid ;-)

(In reply to comment #6)
> Does it need the changes in pw/cover/flip at all?
No. I thought to have seen an unminize animation, but setting things to "slow" i cannot see it and i'm not really sure there was one.

So only the minimizers now (minimize & ML - grep says that's all) - the patch name is now nonsense, oc :)
Comment 8 Kai Uwe Broulik 2011-01-01 18:03:53 UTC
It may be of note that I am using that wonderlamp minimize effect. So that you don‘t fix it for the default minimizer but forget it for that special effect ;)

Looks good. Can go into trunk and also branch (we are still before RC2).
