try just move them around a bit, log in again and see. i changed logic to handle resolution changes for remembers. it was broken until now. this means that means you have to do a 1-off to fix it up in remembers. you dont eve have to disable and enable remembers. any change to a window with remembers applied will auto-save those changes made. > On Mon, Aug 31, 2020 at 12:02:18AM +0100, Carsten Haitzler wrote: > > On Sun, 30 Aug 2020 07:31:23 -0700 Marc MERLIN <marc_...@merlins.org> said: > > > > I have never seen it jumble the windows... if you lose a screen e will dump > > windows onto the current screen+desktop (but their positions will be the > > same relative to the screen). > > > > e in git now actually remember the last screen a window was on when dumped > > and restores it back to it when the screen re-appears unless you manually > > moved it around screens in the meantime. it also dumps them on the same > > corresponding desktop rather than all windows on the lost screen onto the > > current desktop. > > Ok, so I upgraded to 0.24.2-5 > I can see that it changed the way it leaves windows where they used to > be when it restarts (with a nice dim effect), that's good. > > Now, I have a new problem though. > This is a problme I've always had. > I use xsession to start terminals because I had issues getting E to > start my many terminsls with the right name arguments a long tiem ago > and I just stuck with xsession > > It looks like this: > #TN=xfce4-terminal > #TNN=T > TN="gnome-terminal --hide-menubar --window" > TNN="--role" > # Give time to e17 to start so that it can capture the window to position it > (sleep 5; $TN $TNN window1 --role=window1 ) & > (sleep 5; $TN $TNN window2 --role=window2 ) & > (sleep 5; $TN $TNN window3 --role=window3 ) & > (sleep 5; $TN $TNN window4 --role=window4 ) & > (sleep 5; $TN $TNN window5 --role=window5 ) & > (sleep 5; $TN $TNN window6 --role=window6 ) & > (sleep 5; $TN $TNN window7 --role=window7 --tab ) & > (sleep 5; $TN $TNN window8 --role=window8 --tab ) & > (sleep 5; $TN $TNN window9 --role=window9 --tab ) & > (sleep 5; $TN $TNN window10 --role=window10 --tab ) & > (sleep 5; $TN $TNN window11 --role=window11 --tab ) & > > (sleep 5; $TN $TNN window2.1 --role=window2.1 --tab ) & > (sleep 5; $TN $TNN window2.2 --role=window2.2 --tab ) & > (sleep 5; $TN $TNN window2.3 --role=window2.3 --tab ) & > (sleep 5; $TN $TNN window2.4 --role=window2.4 --tab ) & > (sleep 5; $TN $TNN window2.5 --role=window2.5 --tab ) & > > (sleep 5; $TN $TNN window3.1 --role=window3.1 --tab ) & > (sleep 5; $TN $TNN window3.2 --role=window3.2 --tab ) & > > (stuff) > /usr/bin/enlightenment_start > > > The problem is that the windows never really all appeared where they > needed.
