Cinema 4D extra windows don't work, also group cannot be dragged. #1104

Closed bartjeeh closed 4 years ago

bartjeeh commented 4 years ago

Hi there, what a brilliant tool! Sadly two of my applications don't seem to work with it.

Maxon Cinema 4D has a renderwindow and a node editor next to their main layout, and both these windows do not want to snap in place anywhere.

Groupy adds an extra bar to the interface microsoft explorer interface and also doesn't work with fancywindows. which is super sad.

Any way for me to fix this or make some sort of report of this? kind regards, Bart

@bartjeeh, Reading this, sounds like two possible separate issues. One with Groupy, one with Cinema 4D.

we have a bunch of tweaks right now in the master branch and one more pending a commit (#1076). I would suggest cloning the master branch (hopefully #1076 goes in today) and test again.

If you are able to compile / test out that way, would be much easier to test.

@bartjeeh thanks for the report! The more "this app does not zone but it should" reports we get, the easier it is for us to improve FancyZones!

Unfortunately, Groupy will not be affected by #1076. The window it creates uses WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW style, probably to not be displayed on the taskbar. We do not allow for zoning of such windows, because those usually are "special" in some ways. #1076 did not change that.

I don't think it will affect Cinema 4D either. From the sound of it, it looks like this app creates multiple windows, and we generally allow only the main window to be zoned.

We will investigate and hopefully, we will come with some kind of solution. Either by improving our "what windows can be zoned" algorithm or by some other means.
