Bug#496743: openbox: action GrowToEdge* grows too much when windows are sid by side
Hi, * Nicolas Évrard ni...@no-log.org [2008-10-07 13:07]: * Nico Golde [2008-08-28 19:01 +0200]: [...] What is the advantage of that? I mean you get what you want if you press it once... Did you had some time to think about this bug ? Maybe I should report it upstream ? More importantly: did we finally agree that there is something to do here ? First I am sorry, I somehow missed this mail. I thought about this again. The documentation states until it touches the nearest edge north of it. Edges are the outer edges of other windows, or the desktop boundaries so technically after the window hit the other windows edge first the next edge will be the other side of the window, that's why it overlaps. I think the documentation could be better at this point but that is exactly what this is for and it can be (as you have done) easily be fixed via a chain. I don't think there is a real need for a completely new action, I like that openbox gives you the flexibility to implement that rather easy if you need that, most users probably don't need this feature. So if you agree I would like to close this bug.

* Nico Golde [2008-09-04 14:07 +0200]: Hi Nicolas, Hello Nico, is this not going to the BTS on purpose? No I forgot to make a reply all. This fixed now. I'm starting from that situation: +-+ | +++-+ | | | A || B | | | +++-+ | | | | | | | | | +-+ I'd like to go this one: +-+ | +++---+| | | A || || | ++| || || B || || || || || |+---+| +-+ Here is what I've got after the first GrowToEdge* +-+ | +++| | | A ||| | ++|| | |B|| | | || | | || | +-+| +-+ This should happen after GrowToEdgeWest, if both windows are touching each other you should get exactly what you wanted on GrowToEdgeEast, just tested this. In fact I created a shortcut that does the sequence GrowToEdgeWest/North/South/East. That way I can maximize a window without having to think about which way the window must go. That's why I would like to see an action that maximize a window without crossing an edge. -- (° Nicolas Évrard / ) Liège - Belgique ^^ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Package: openbox Version: 3.4.7.2-3 Severity: normal Hello, This might not be a bug but it feels like it. When two windows are side by side the actions GrowToEdge* makes the selected window grow to the edge of the other window (the window on the left with a GrowToEast will go to the east side of the other window).

Cause if they do the action resizes this window to the edge of the window before resizing to the workspace corner. This is also on purpose to resize a window to the size of another for example. So far I see no bug here.
