FvwmRearrange -tile -r -mn 3 -maximize 0 0

• Fvwm3 version (run: fvwm3 --version)
  fvwm3 1.1.1 (1.1.0-120-g3e0d960d)

Behaviour

Tile windows into columns and rows.
FvwmRearrange -tile -r -mn 3 -maximize 0 0 86 82

Does not work when numbers are added to maximize. Without numbers, it places all windows into columns without rows.
FvwmRearrange -tile -r -mn 3 -maximize

Read the manual page, the options and behavior of FvwmRearrange has been drastically changed. The single letter options no longer exist.

[somiaj]

FvwmRearrnage -tile -reverse -max_n 3 -maximize 0 0 86 82 works just fine for me. Though you may want to check out the new features.

The issue is -mn is no longer an option, so the number in -mn 3 is read as part of the bounding box, so the bounding box is then used to be 3 0 0 86 which won't do anything. The bounding box logic has always been a bit fragile this way, this isn't new, what is new is the options have changed so the old options will cause odd issues.

FvwmRearrnage -tile -reverse -max_n 3 -maximize 0 0 86 82

Testing with default config, doesn't work. Manpage examples, only FvwmRearrange -cascade 10 2 80 70 works. Additional options with -tile don't work.

@rasatpc

Are you saying there's something in the default config which references FvwmRearrange which doesn't work (i.e, a configuration problem), or something else?

Again, you need to take into account the changes made to FvwmRearrange as breaking.

[rasatpc]

The default config is fine. I am testing the different FvwmRearrange examples in the manpage.

[ThomasAdam]

OK. When you actually have something which might be an issue, let us know. Until then, please try and not muddy the waters.

[rasatpc]

The issue is that option -tile does not work. Option -cascade is ok.

[ThomasAdam]

But it has always been that way, @rasatpc -- that's not anything new. They're mutually-exclusive.

[rasatpc]

It worked fine until recent updates. I have been using option -tile for a long time.

[somiaj]

The wiki has not been updated, use the man page. What do you mean the option '-tile' does not work, in my tests it does what it is designed to do.

[rasatpc]

What do you mean the option '-tile' does not work

I tried many options mentioned in the FvwmRearrange manpage. Some work, others not. Here is the list:

FvwmRearrange -tile -swap 10 10 90 90 (ok)
----
FvwmRearrange -tile -swap 0 0 35 100
FvwmRearrange 35 0 100 10
(ok)
-----
FvwmRearrnage -tile -swap -max_n 3 0 0 86 82 (no)
FvwmRearrnage -tile -max_n 3 0 0 86 82 (no)
FvwmRearrnage -auto_tile (no)
FvwmRearrnage -tile -reverse -max_n 3 0 0 86 82 (no)

Option -maximize is not mentioned in the manpage. I did a test and got my code to work with minor edits.
FvwmRearrange -tile -reverse -max_n 3 -maximize 0 0 86 82 (ok)

[somiaj]

You have not clarified what doesn't work is doing. Also you should search the manual page better, -maximize is in the manual page.

Of course FvwmRearrnage -tile -swap -max_n 3 0 0 86 82 doesn't work, but if you spell FvwmRearrange correctly it does work.

[rasatpc]

somiaj: FvwmRearrnage -tile -reverse -max_n 3 -maximize 0 0 86 82 works just fine for me

I copied your spelling error. :) With the correction, everything works fine. Also, I found the option -maximize.

[somiaj]

Ahh sorry, silly me.
