Make icon click work similar to windows #42

Closed VanCoding closed 8 years ago

VanCoding commented 10 years ago

Under windows, when I left-click the app icon, there are 3 cases:

In this applet though, the case with multiple open windows is different. It still shows/hides one window of the app while ignoring the others. But this does not make sense to me. If one window is open, I don't care about the previews so I can wait the timeout before the icons get shown. But when there are multiple windows, I want to be able to switch to my chosen window as fast as possible. So getting the preview list on a click is much faster than waiting for the timeout.

What do you think?

The first two cases I would agree. And this is already realized, isn't it?

Let's look into the third case: Multiple windows of the application are opened. You proposed to show the preview list. Same behaviour when you stay a second on the icon. I would prefer to toggle one window after another between focussed and minimized.

As you can read in the post of @jake-phy in #45: If you change the timeout of the thumbnails to 0, the window list appears without any delay.

Good thoughts. I will have to add a setting to open the thumbnail on click if more than one window is open.

I do not know how to install it. Any advice?

Just remove old applet and copy this one to the .local/share/cinnamon/applets folder.
