Heyo.

I'm running Ubuntu 20.04 with a few other extensions.

When I try to access the settings on the extention I get "Something's gone wrong" and the following error:

Gtk.BuilderError: /home/troggoman/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/smart-auto-move@khimaros.com/ui/prefs-gtk4.ui:24:33 Invalid property: GtkNotebook.focusable

Currently using 3.36.8, Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS

khimaros commented 2 years ago

currently, the only version tested is 41.x

did you manually install the extension from zip?

Ah I see. I installed it from extensions.gnome.org

Hi, my company just reinstalled my KDE Centos 7 --> GNOME Rocky Linux 8 (3.36.1 or 3.32.2 - I'm not sure?), and the lack of saving window position totally hurts my brain.

Is it possible to install it somehow? I've been told I can't install it because it's only for version 41 on the gnome-extensions website.

$ gnome-shell --version
GNOME Shell 3.32.2

$ gjs --version
gjs 1.56.2

$ lsb_release -a
LSB Version:    :core-4.1-amd64:core-4.1-noarch
Distributor ID: Rocky
Description:    Rocky Linux release 8.5 (Green Obsidian)
Release:    8.5
Codename:   GreenObsidian

Just installed on Ubuntu 20.04 with GNOME 3.36.8 on Wayland with amdgpu, also with a few other extensions. I get same result, plus additional configuration windows showing the error opened while Extensions is running are unable to be moved or closed until Extensions is closed. While the Downloads on the extension page shows only GNOME 41 and 42, the extension installs and appears to run fine, albeit with configuration via dconf which appears to not be fully functional.

you can manually install this extension on older version of gnome-shell, but i make no guarantees about behavior.

in fact, the extension may require at least Gtk4 in the more recent versions.

the steps to install the extension manually are:

$ git clone https://github.com/khimaros/smart-auto-move
$ make install

you will need to log out and back in before enabling the extension.
