[kwin] [Bug 443723] "Display geometry when moving or resizing" does not work under wayland
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=443723 Michael Tunnell changed: What|Removed |Added CC||m...@michaeltunnell.com --- Comment #12 from Michael Tunnell --- I am disappointed to see this removed intentionally. I used this feature all the time to resize windows for different usecases. I'll provide one of the critical examples I use it for. I'm a podcaster on Destination Linux and during preparation we have individual windows for each camera. I resize the windows to 1080p so that I can capture them via OBS. This feature made it very easy and simple to make sure I always had it at the right sizing and positioning for capture. The first episode we recorded after I updated to 5.24 actually sent me into a panic because I didnt have time to figure out what happened. Luckily I already knew how to workaround this with wmctrl so I did that and have been doing so ever since. I decided to see if there was a bug report to add my need to today and see that it was intentionally removed without warning. I don't know how I would be able to be warned as I am not sure there is a change advisory thing but that would be very helpful as a side note. I now see that wmctrl does not work on Wayland so this feature being removed in KWin and my workaround only works in X means this will eventually create a bigger problem for me later. Note: this is not the only reason I use this feature, this was also great for a lot of other reasons and was a great way to show people why KWin was awesome because everyone has different reasons to find this helpful. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

you could create a plasma dialog dynamically (see
https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtqml-javascript-dynamicobjectcreation.html) when the
clientStartUserMovedResized signal is emitted and destroy it when the
clientFinishUserMovedResized signal is emitted
PlasmaCore.Dialog {
location: PlasmaCore.Types.Floating
flags: Qt.X11BypassWindowManagerHint | Qt.FramelessWindowHint
x: client.x + client.width / 2 - width / 2
y: client.y + client.height / 2 - height / 2
Label {} // a label with geometry text
}

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=443723 Vlad Zahorodnii changed: What|Removed |Added Status|CONFIRMED |RESOLVED Resolution|--- |INTENTIONAL --- Comment #5 from Vlad Zahorodnii --- Yeah, those sound like really niche usecases. The reason the geometry tip was dropped so async geometry updates could be simplified on wayland, which turned out to be a very difficult problem to get right.. That being said, the scripting api provides everything that's needed to re-implement this feature and it would be a much nicer way to implement geometry tip than the old way. I can look into it but I can't guarantee that it will be done soon. If somebody wants to do that themselves and upload the script to kde store, feel free to ask questions about scripting in #kde-devel on libera.chat or kwin matrix channel. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Nothing /too/ specific really, that I can think of right now. Mostly it's probably just that I've become very accustomed to having different windows be of a particular size, which can actually be very useful when taking screenshots or video off of them (no need to resize them later for example). Somewhat similarly, it has been very useful in keeping aspect ratios and such as they should be for games, especially older ones, which don't have built-in options to set the resolution right (this also goes for the images and video in some cases). There might be more specific things I've used this for, but can't think of right now. I can't imagine being the only one making so much use of this, but I do also understand removing it if there are only a handful of us.
