Re: WMII questions

The wmii filesystem is--just like multiple language bindings--a way for the user to use whichever language (e.g. SH or something like c or ruby for complex scripts) he wants to configure wmii.  That is their solution for it.  WMII stores its config files in ~/.wmii-* where * is 3.6 or hg or something.  The 9p filesystem can be specifically mounted or emulated under wmii.

Re: WMII questions

Thanks Intrepid, is the 9p filesystem persisted anywhere?  eg when you do "write to"/change things in the 9p filesystem, do those things get written to real files, or is it all in memory?

Re: WMII questions

My questions are answered at http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=66994 and are now also on the wiki
(the fs is not persistent)

Re: WMII questions

I am trying to switch from dwm to wmii (primarily because of its stack mode). I have specified tag rule for opera this way:

/opera.*/ -> 1

so opera should appear on the first tag in default mode. but sometimes it appears in floating mode just like some other apps for which there are no tag rules in my .wmii-3.5 config file. shouldn't they always appear in default mode first?
is there any workaround for this problem? thanks in advance.
