Summary: Abilty to set virtual desktop on a per app basis
Product: Wine
Version: CVS/GIT
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: winex11.drv
AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
ReportedBy: austinenglish at gmail.com
This is frequently requested, but couldn't find a bug for it, so filing one
just for this issue. From wine-devel:
Scott Richie:
I have a few full screen applications that I'd like to run contained in
small windows. Currently, in order to run them this way, I have to
either open winecfg and set a virtual desktop or launch the application
on the terminal with: wine explorer /desktop=name,1024x768 app.exe
What I'd like is something that does this for me similar to app
defaults. That way I could run the application by double clicking it
(or from the shortcut in the start menu) and have it contained in the
window I want.
Ideally I'd be able to enable this setting from a right
click->properties menu, however that work isn't necessarily needed
within Wine other than support for modifying this new key using
something like reg.exe on the terminal.
Austin English:
What would be lost by having those apps that someone wants to be in
their own virtual desktop each having their own (with unique names).
I.e., if you choose to give Starcraft and Wow each their own desktop,
but not notepad:
$ wine notepad #works in regular managed mode
$ wine wow.exe # would be equivalent to running wine explorer
/desktop=wow,1024x768 wow.exe
$ wine starcraft.exe # would be equivalent to running wine explorer
/desktop=starcraft,800x600 starcraft.exe
With the desktop names being either assigned by program name,
automatically assigned, or chosen by the user. Resolution could
default to 800 x 600, but also be customizable in winecfg.
Alexandre Julliard:
That's clearly something that would be nice to have, but it's not
trivial to do; otherwise it would have been done already, it has been
requested for a while now. Patches are welcome of course...
