Pin specific program to tags

[garyniger-code]

I haven't been able to pin programs to specific tags using this setup.

I have tried setting up rules like in the vanilla rc.lua with properties = { tag = tags[1][5] } }, in rules.lua but it has no effect. Other rules are working for the program. I believe it has to do with the non standard tag creation in the rc.lua.

Has anyone got it working?

tags are created in mirage.lua or in pastel.lua in the awesomewm4.3 recommended way:

   awful.screen.connect_for_each_screen(function(s)
      for i = 1, 7, 1
      do
         awful.tag.add(i, {
            icon = icon_dir .. i .. ".png",
            icon_only = true,
            layout = awful.layout.suit.tile,
            screen = s,
            selected = i == 1
         })
      end

I can look into client / tag placement though. I suspect its an awesomewm4.3 thing

Got it figured out now. the current way of pinning to screen 1, tag 8, is setting {screen = 1, tag = "8"}

Hopefully someone will find it useful
