... but i do not use ion! - because of one simple thingy: it organises the windows too stupidely (especially when working with gimp and xsane at the same time)

organises the windows stupidly? I think it does it very well. gimp, for example here: http://www.archlinux.org/~dusty/gimp-ion-ss.jpg

I have one workspace dedicated to gimp. I've never used xsane, but you could put it on a separate workspace or tab it up a bit...

I had a lot of trouble with gimp/ion at first but I finally added some kludges that make the windows open in the correct frames:

winprop{
    class = "Gimp",
    name="The GIMP",
    target = "gimpframe1",
}

winprop{
    class = "Gimp",
    role = "gimp-file-open",
    target = "gimpframe2",
}

winprop{
    class = "Gimp",
    role = "gimp-file-save",
    target = "gimpframe2",
}

winprop{
    class = "Gimp",
    role = "gimp-image-window",
    target = "gimpframe2",
}

winprop{
    class = "Gimp",
    role = "gimp-dock",
    target = "gimpframe3",
}
winprop{
    class = "Gimp",
    role = "gimp-crop-tool",
    target = "gimpframe3",
}

Mr. Green: Hahahahaha now you know what it feels like when we hijack people's threads. I know too, look at the Python 3D thread...

your gimp-help i will try after the exams (3 weeks), as i really liked ion, but jumping xsane-windows are not really nice, when you intend to do something the fast way (ok, i probably lack a nice config for ion for such apps and never really invested time to make one)

he he ... sorry for your thread, MrGreen :mrgreen:

maybe a little --- but i'm also really sorry for letting such a bad thing happen in our perfect world (did anybody read the news? anything positive? let's speak about the news, ok? this would change the subject once again - agree? or if you disagree, then we can also discuss the philosophy of disagreeing if you like )

Dusty · 2004-06-28 23:22:52

I don't know why people disagree at all because as I said http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?p=33097#33097, I am working on a proof of the concept of every statement being both true and false... therefore both sides are right, no?

if right=true, then your theory has an implicite problem: as something must be true and false after it, if it is true, then you cannot be "false" while being "true":

your theory must be also "false" (=wrong) while being true to suit itself ;-)

No, that's the beauty of it... in fact we're all a messed up bunch of people that don't understand the simple truth: true=false and disagreement exists in the mind only. :-D

Hotkeys, dear Swede.

hmm, I was impressed by that gimp screenshot, maybe I should give ion a real try...
