Drawers not taken into account #23

Closed brabalan closed 11 years ago

brabalan commented 11 years ago

DEVONthink has a very nice feature, which is a drawer called "see also & classify". Unfortunately, xnomad does not seem to see when it's opened and does not take it into account when resizing the window.

This is because drawers are separate (child) windows. It's possible to detect, but I'm not sure if I would like that (I prefer my skype window to fill the width of the column, and have the contact drawer only visible when the chat window is) I might make it an option, but currently the 3 column layout has a greater priority (I just received my thunderbolt displays today, so I need to get on that soon :)

3 column layout clearly wins here! ;-)

What I don't get is: if it's a child window, shouldn't it have it's column? The workaround I have right now is that I put the DT window on the left, so that when I focus on it, the drawer (on the right side) covers part of the window on the right. It works well enough.
