Re: [xmonad] auto start apps on login, but not reloads

Thanks Ondrej, Do you have a fuller example of how you did that? I get lost in the Haskell. On 24 March 2017 at 22:02, Ondřej Súkup wrote:

hi,

I using for this simple :

Hi Brandon,

When I did an `xmonad --restart` it started all the apps again... which is exactly the opposite of what I wanted. I only want the apps to start on initial startup.

Just thinking aloud, another way I could do this would be to have rules in place that always assign a new app to a given workspace. Then I could start my main apps as usual from .xsession. But sometimes I move a chromium window to a different workspace, so it would need to allow that.

BTW, I'm using xmonad from ArchLinux 0.13. Should I be using a dev version?

Thanks Brandon!

I've updated my config

https://github.com/fommil/dotfiles/blob/master/xmonad/xmonad.hs

and now my three apps startup on the correct workspaces! No apparent issues with chromium.

Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to have fixed the --reload problem, so I guess args is always coming up non-null?

Hm? Did it restart them inappropriately, or did it not start them at all?

The recent changes to use a state file are buggy and cause some rather bizarre problems. But there's also the question of compatibility with older versions; I was reassured that the change *is* backward compatible, but if you aren't seeing parameters from a restart then either that or some other change is not backward compatible. (I've already had to rewire this once because of an unannounced non-backward-compatible change leading up to 0.12. I am not a fan of "move fast, break stuff" especially if the only way I can find out about it is to audit every single commit.)
