Description zerocostabstraction 2022-06-21 08:50:09 UTC
SUMMARY

In the rules, under "Size & Position" category, there's a way to set a window to open on a certain Screen (monitor). However, the values of these are extremely opaque. If I'm using 4 monitors, which one is 0? Which one is 1? Which one is 4? I assume I can input any number for some edge case, but I think for the currently present monitors, I should see their names next to their index number. So for example: 

0 - DP-1-1 Samsung TL5151

1 - HDMI-0-1 HannG XE31

The names are made up of course. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Configure Application-Specific Settings
2. Add Property
3. Screen 

OBSERVED RESULT

Screen with an opaque number picker shows up.

EXPECTED RESULT

Either an info tag telling me where it's getting these numbers from, or an added string next to the index, identifying which monitor is what.
