possible to force an app to always float #203

Closed jimpriest closed 5 years ago

jimpriest commented 5 years ago

I use two apps - an app launcher and a clipboard utility that both pop up in a window on a key press.

Right now it pops up and then bug.n seems to grab it and maximize.

Can I tell bug.n to leave these apps alone or always float them?

Of course I post and then I think I found it.

I can click WIN+I on the windows and it pops up

Config_rule=TMainForm;Find and Run Robot 2 | Friday March 08, 2019 - 3:37 PM;;0;;;;;0;

Which I see examples of in the config.

You are almost there; interestingly the above example should work, but bug.n uses regular expressions in Config_rule, whereas the pipe schould be escaped and for a more general rule I would suggest the following: Config_rule=TMainForm;Find and Run Robot.*;;0;;;;;0; (therewith showing it an all views) or Config_rule=TMainForm;Find and Run Robot.*;;0;0;0;1;1;0;, if you want the window to be floating, with decoration, but only shown on the one view it was opened.

Thanks! I found the docs section that pertains to this and am RTFM https://github.com/fuhsjr00/bug.n/blob/master/doc/Configuring_rules.md
