Tint Task Manager is awesome, but...

There are two little things about it that I don't like.

1) There is no window grouping. I don't know if this is planned for later or if they purposely don't like this feature, but I would like it. Sometimes for work I generate over 200 images and then save them as various formats using a script I run over-night. It sucks to see my taskbar full of 200 windows and have to close each one seperately.

2) When I make a window show on all desktops, it disappears from Tint, and even after I "unstick" it, Tint doesn't show it.

I don't know what the point of this is, except a mini-rant.

Do you think these are acceptable concerns that I should email the project about? I'm pretty sure the second one wasn't intended by the developers.

Otherwise, I love Tint. It looks way cooler than any other taskbar and is super-customizable.

Re: Tint Task Manager is awesome, but...

1) you could change your script. i don't know what type of images you generate, but saving in different formats can be done easily with imagemagick

2) i'd definitly call that a bug. maybe you can report it to tint's devs (it will most likely be already reported, so you might even just wait for the fix)

I've got a question. I'm using xfce and compiz-fusion with 4 workspaces. Tint shows all the apps from all the workspaces, is it possible to get tint to show only that applications which are on current workspace?

Yes, it is. If you open your ~/.config/tint/tintrc, it's one of the first few options. I'm not at my machine right now, but it should be one of the first few choices. Probably a true or false variable.

Re: Tint Task Manager is awesome, but...

When I try to use tint in xfce and compiz-fusion tint itself is in a window, In the tintrc I couldn't find an option to change this.

Any advice?

\edit: solved it by myself: Just add "any & !type=dock" in the Window Decoration plugin of the ccsm.
