Persistent across virtual desktops #11

Closed addrum closed 8 years ago

addrum commented 8 years ago

More of a feature than an issue. In Windows 10 it would be nice to have the option for it to be sticky across virtual desktops (i.e. I move to another virtual desktop and it moves too, staying in the same place).

ArcadeRenegade commented 8 years ago

Could you clarify what you mean by virtual desktop?

MEGAtheguy commented 8 years ago

Windows 10 has a feature where if you hit the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Win + D, (navigation between desktops is Ctrl + Win + Right/Left Arrow, or by clicking the task view button next to the search bar) it creates virtual desktops. http://i.imgur.com/knRePXC.png http://i.imgur.com/Ytfrfgl.png

Interesting. I'll try to implement it. Not sure if it's possible though. Thanks.

Looks like someone already made a wrapper library for win10 virtual desktop so we are in luck.

https://github.com/Grabacr07/VirtualDesktop

The question is, do you want this to be an innate feature or something that can be toggled in a setting?

addrum commented 8 years ago

Probably toggled in a setting although in the current state you end up with a blank space where the sidebar would sit that is unusable so a feature may be better.

I implemented this but it doesn't seem like it's working correctly.

ArcadeRenegade commented 8 years ago

It was a bug with getting the correct OS version. This is implemented and working in version 2.2.1

Cheers, nice work.

FYI getting an error when it first trying to switch VM's but it only happens once. Once the program has been launched it works even after restarts.

Thanks. Weird behavior. I'm going to be lazy and throw it into a try catch InvalidOperationException.

ArcadeRenegade commented 8 years ago

I put in an issue with the repo I use to handle virtual desktops. Hopefully they have some insight.
