Virtualbox -- Has anyone been able to control VB with bug.n? #161

Open jwmurray opened 6 years ago

jwmurray commented 6 years ago

When I start virtualbox and the subsequent VMs under VB, bug.n does not control them. has anyone else gotten this to work?

Thank you!

Incidentally, I do use VirtualBox, too, and saw, that it is written with Qt5, which is not covered by rule no. 4. Config_rule=Qt5QWindowIcon;.*;;1;0;0;0;0;0; solved the problem for me, but you may want different rules for the pop-up windows (starting and exiting a vm), which otherwise will also be tiled.

Thank you. I will try that on Monday!

It solves issue with qt applications, but there are some windows from Control Panel like Mouse, Color Management and Advanced System Settings/System Propeties that are out of control. What to do with that? There is also old WinAmp application that is out of control.

This worked for me. Thank you!

Occasionally, I have an application that used to be under the control of the system, and then it is not for a while, even after restarting bug.n.

Does bug.n keep a settings history that needs to be cleared out?

@lluke777: Do you mean the Windows 10 Settings App with class = ApplicationFrameWindow and process = ApplicationFrameHost.exe? You will need to add a corresponding rule, since those windows are not managed by bug.n by default. Config_rule=ApplicationFrameWindow;.*;;0;;;;;1; would go to far.

@jwmurray: Yes, by default bug.n keeps track of open windows (by window id) and restores the corresponding settings. You may use the following configuration variable to reset or keep those settings when restarting bug.n: Config_autoSaveSession=ask.

There is opposit problem with Total Commander application. While copying small pop up windows appear and rearange positions of windows. How to prevent this happen?

joten commented 6 years ago

Try WinI to get the window information and copy the rule to your Config.ini with ;0;0;0;1;1;1; as the last part of the rule, just like the one for pop-up windows (Config_rule_#3=.*;.*;Window_isPopup;0;0;0;1;1;1;) and have a look at doc/Configuring_rules for more information on rules.

shaunsmiley-rms commented 6 years ago

I can confirm that adding Config_rule=Qt5QWindowIcon;.*;;1;0;0;0;0;0; to config.ini solves the problem for me too.

lluke777 commented 6 years ago

I have added new rule for Windows Magnifier (usingWIN + '+') Config_rule=#19 := "MagUICl-ass;Magnifier;;1;1;2;0;0;0;" and increased counter Config_ruleCount := 19 unfortunatelly all new applications that are opened in bug.n are not tiling.

What I am doing wrong?

joten commented 6 years ago

Are all new applications still not tiled by bug.n without the addition of Config_rule=#19 := "MagUICl-ass;Magnifier;;1;1;2;0;0;0;" and Config_ruleCount := 19?

Please try to add the rule via the Config.ini file, not setting Config_ruleCount, but adding the following line:

Config_rule=MagUICl-ass;Magnifier;;1;1;2;0;0;0;

(Is there really a hyphen in the class name? Do you want to appear those windows on monitor 1, view 2? Sorry, I am currently not running Windows and cannot test it myself.)
