BUG? Microsoft Outlook, "Reminders Window" #990

Open ComputerCulture opened 1 month ago

ComputerCulture commented 1 month ago

Hi @LGUG2Z

Microsoft Outlook Reminders Window shows up on all work spacers when changing to a new workspace, yet the main UI will stay on the work space it was open on. Is this a bug? or how can it be implemented so the small reminders window in outlook remains on the same work space as the main UI

Thank you...

Can you share an image of this? I don't use Outlook so I can't visualize what you're describing.

Generally, popups or windows that are ignored are completely ignored by komorebi, so they will appear wherever the operating system tells them to appear and komorebi will never try to do anything with them.

That window is always set to float with a rule on application-specific-configuration. That is needed otherwise komorebi would try to tile that window, which is probably not what you want for a reminders window. The downside of having it set to float is that komorebi ignores it, so it won't hide it when you change workspace.

@LGUG2Z Maybe we could change this behaviour and instead of ignoring the windows we could add them to the floating_windows of the workspace. This way the windows would still be tied to that workspace and be properly hidden when changing workspaces. I know you've previously mentioned adding an ignored-rules to separate the windows one wants to be floating from the ones that need to be ignored and this issue is a case that would be fixed by that...
