Innerspace Windowsnapper, Repeater, and a little extra sumptin sumptin

In that case:

run autolayout ${clients} outer left

This will automatically use whichever number of clients you give it. You may find that you like the windows on the left to be a specific size, though, since the size of the clients on the left is going to be inversely proportional to the number you give it (i.e. 2 is bigger than 3 which is bigger than 4 which is bigger than 5). If you find yourself wanting them a specific size, just put it at that specific number of clients instead of using the number you pass into wow.iss.

Edit: Yep, I typoed "autosnapper" instead of "autolayout". Fixed, thanks noids :P

Um... at the innerspace console in the uplink, I do run wow 2 and it just runs 2 wow's on top of each other.
:S

What happens when you hit the windows key or otherwise click outside the two wows? When I first run mine all 5 stack on the main screen, once I take each one out of focus they move to where they are supposed to be.

Dunno, I'll try.
Does it matter that I run them in windowd-maximized?
Edit:

THAT WORKED THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Um, how do I make the secondary wows start at the top right of my second monitor and go down instead of the bottom right and going up?

Nope. Full screen may have a negative effect, but window/maximized is how I run mine as well.

In IS do "run wow 2", then when both copies run, press the windows key, then click the wow thats on the screen and do it again.
Both should be thumbnailed at this point.

autolayout right

In your multi.iss if you are following my setup.

loops... conditionals... delays... structures...

where's the record and playback feature?

What is your point again? I thought the real moderators told you to stay out of Inner Space threads? Why are you even a moderator?

These things you are pointing out are available in other software that people use here, and they also do not get banned for using those. Are you so afraid that a faster and more configurable product is going to hurt your own business that you have to try to spread Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt about it? Seriously. If you want to keep trying to hijack threads about Inner Space, I will start posting in random KeyClone threads about the benefits of switching to Inner Space, and when you tell someone they can't do something with KeyClone, I will show a simple command or two to make what they wanted work in Inner Space.

People have been using WindowSnapper and Repeater, even ClickBoxer, for over a month now without incident, and have been using Inner Space alone for much longer than that. Stop acting all high and mighty just because a GM mentioned "KeyClone is ok". Get off your pedestal. There are solutions available that are not yours, and you need to learn to respect that.

Well to get it more on topic:
I got the main windowsnapper part working (only using the windowsnapper functionality of IS, because its the only thing that i'm interrested in using..), but:
Is there a way with windowsnapper to do the windowswitching more like i'm used to (from keyclone), meaning that windows do switch places?

To ilustrate it a little sample screen layout:

The upper would be my standard layout, and if i want for example to play Toon3 active it should look like the lower one.

Is this doable with IS/Windowsnapper? (And when yes, maybe a hint would be nice how )

[zanthor]

Olpics you are looking for PIP with BOOBS and BRA, which is something I am confident IS could do, however it is not currently a function of Windowsnapper. I was going to pursue creating this functionality however with the speed of windowsnappers switching I discovered I had no need of the smaller windows except as a general "are they following" reference.

I realize that this is purely a personal preference, and I would be happy to take a shot at making a version of windowsnapper that would support it after I hit 80 and thanksgiving weekend has passed... Lax may be able to add the functionality faster if you ask him, he's been real good at adding features on request.

Lax: What he's looking for is the ability to have X clients with X-1 thumbnails and never a "blank" spot on his desktop. When you hit a hotkey to bring a client into focus, it moves that client to the full sized reagon and puts the client that was the current focus back in it's slot. Basically with clients 1-5 all clients will always be in the same spot UNLESS a client other than 1 is the focus. If a client other than 1 is the focus, client 1 takes it's original location and client X fills the full screen. So if you start at client 1 and focus 2, they swap. If you then focus 3, client 1 moves to client 3's position, client 3 takes the full screen and client 2 moves back to it's original thumbnail position.

Yeah, sorry i described it so badly, when the official term is ' PIP with BOOBS and BRA', will use this term for the matter from now on

You nailed it! Exactly what I'm looking for and weren't able to formulate properly

autolayout right

In your multi.iss if you are following my setup.

Not working.

run windowsnapper -norollover
run autolayout ${clients} right
windowpos -viewable 0,0
windowsize -viewable 1680x1050
squishes the main the secondary into rectangles on the first monitor.

run windowsnapper -norollover
run autolayout ${clients} outer left
windowpos -viewable 0,0
windowsize -viewable 1680x1050

makes the second wow be on the bottom right of the secondary monitor (To the left of my main monitor) and part of it is behind the taskbar (I put my taskbar on the second monitor.)

Edit: nevermind, I found that if I put run autolayout 3 outer left, it does what I want it to.

Is your second monitor upside down? autolayout starts with 0 for the first session, and increments by the size toward the max -- regardless of whether it is horizontal or vertical. If the number of clients is 2, the screen is divided by 2 and the second window will be in the second position, which is bottom. The primary window still owns a slot, which would be the top.

It is, in fact, possible. However, it's probably going to be 10ms or so slower WindowSnapper is not currently set up for this, it would have to have a position control script running in the uplink (main program). I can put it on my list of things to do today.

My personal preference is how it is -- the blank spot tells me exactly what session I am using without question, and I know exactly which windows are where at all times -- without the blank spot, it would take some extra thought to figure out which session is in which position and what hotkey to use to switch to it if I want. I'm not saying either way is right or wrong, just saying why I like this behavior

Anyway, as stated, I will get that set up today
