[Bug 12621] New: Abilty to set virtual desktop on a per app basis
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12621 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(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: austinenglish(a)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.

This works in git. Neat. Great work Alexandre!
