CHANGELOG

v1.4.1

  • Update version number within script

v1.4

  • Replace if/then blocks for debug statements with debug_text function to provide the same functionality. The code is simpler and cleaner this way.

  • Default DEBUG to false

  • Add CLI handling for command line parameters -d and -h

  • If we are using the resolution to find a monitor-config rule and the monitor-config rule to then find window placement rules, call find_resolution and find_monitor_config. Otherwise, don't call either of these as we don't need them and can just use window placement rules.

v.1.3.1

Error out if we can't find a monitor-config rule based on H x V or just H resolutions. Fixes a case where the script just hands when a monitor-config is not found.

v1.3.0

  • When a monitor-config rule matching the current display's horizontalXvertical resolution cannot be found, recheck for a rule that matchtes the horizontal with a vertical resolution of 'x9999'. This allows the script to find a monitor-config rule based on a unique two or three monitor horizontal resolution. Without this the OS may sometimes adjust the reported vertical resolution in response to ?? display position changes ?? and break exact horizontal x vertical monitor-config rules.

v1.2.1

  • Bug fix: If there is no CLI parameter, apply rules based on resolution. Recent work to enable allowing a special-rules-id CLI parameter allowed that new feature but broke the existing, default behavior. Now tested for both.

v1.2.0

  • Modified the position script so if the user provides a parameter, it will skip the resolution handling and just apply rules named by the parameter.
  • Updated my included (sample) position.conf file with some special-rule-id items for cloud computing study work.

v1.1.1

  • Ignore commented out rules when positioning windows.

v1.1.0

  • Added VERSION and VERSION_DATE variables to script.

v1.1.0

  • Rename config file as .position.conf from .position-config for consistency with other scripts I've written.

v0.1.0

  • Switching version numbering
  • Now deploys with install script; Deploys position script and work.desktop Gnome shortcut

2019-12-24

  • Adding install script so this can be downloaded from Github via Chef and deployed. Should make an rpm, but too little time for that right now.

2019-10-29

  • Added rules to the position-config file so that my Slack and KeePassX applications are always visible on the screen regardless of the virtual desktop that is currently displayed.

2019-10-29

  • Modified Gnome work.desktop shortcut file to call this script at /usr/local/bin/position instead of /home/maxwell/bin/position.

2019-10-29

  • Rewrote the script to separate code & data using a configuration file.

The configuration file now defines monitor configurations which are recognized and associated with a rule-group name. The script then calls wmctrl using the parameters provided by any positioning rule with that resolution's rule-group name.

I've wanted to do this for a long time in order to pull out my specific configuration to a config file in order to allow others to use the script itself.

  • Added documentation

  • Submitting changes back to an old repo I forgot about on github

2014-03-26

  • Most recent github update from six years ago.
  • I've been using this script daily since then and can't live without it, but wasn't updating github.
