Thank you, will do.

I'd like to ask if there is any progress on this. Gnome45 ist out since a few weeks now. Any chance there will be an update anytime soon or better look for alternatives?

Hi,

Sorry for the delay, no progress for now.

But I should have time to start to migrate it to Gnome 45 recently.

Would be great! One of my most important extensions :-)

Hi,

I'm preparing to release a new version that supports for Gnome 45 (this PR) today.

Please note that due to gnome-shell 45 does not export EndSessionDialog, the flowing features do not work:

After this MR is merged, the above feature will be supported automatically based on the MR.

Hi,

I'm preparing to release a new version that supports for Gnome 45 (this PR) today.

Please note that due to gnome-shell 45 does not export EndSessionDialog, the flowing features do not work:

  • Restore previous apps and windows at startup . Workaround: I suggest to backup currentSession Using cp -r ~/.config/another-window-session-manager/currentSession ~/.config/another-window-session-manager/currentSession-bak before Log out/Reboot/Shutdown the computer, otherwise session files in currentSession will be removed automatically. Next time after logging in, rename the backup to currentSession Using mv ~/.config/another-window-session-manager/currentSession-bak/ ~/.config/another-window-session-manager/currentSession. And then run the following command to restore the previous session: gdbus call --session --dest org.gnome.Shell.Extensions.awsm --object-path /org/gnome/Shell/Extensions/awsm --method org.gnome.Shell.Extensions.awsm.Autostart.RestorePreviousSession "{'removeAfterRestore': <false>}"
  • Auto close session This feature is not working, so the original end session dialog of Gnome will be popped up.

After this MR is merged, the above feature will be supported automatically based on the MR.

It's still in review. I hope it can be approved today.

nlpsuge commented 10 months ago

The last review was rejected. I've submitted a fixed version and am awaiting approval, hoping it can be approved as soon as possible.

However, the main-gnome-45+ branch, which supports Gnome 45, is fine to use.
