What is an "Application name"?
In using devilspie, I successfully get Thunderbird to always run on
workspace 2 by including the instruction to devilspie:
(if (is (application_name) "Thunderbird")
(begin (set_workspace 2) (maximize) ) )
Now I want to always run Open Office writer in workspace 3. I have tried:
(if (is (application_name) "swriter")
(begin (set_workspace 3) (maximize) ) )
(if (is (application_name) "Swriter")
(begin (set_workspace 3) (maximize) ) )
(if (is (application_name) "soffice")
(begin (set_workspace 3) (maximize) ) )
(if (is (application_name) "Writer")
(begin (set_workspace 3) (maximize) ) )
All without success. The devilspie instruction says:
The "application_name"
function returns the name of the application which created the window, and
"XMMS" is a literal string. So if the application name is "XMMS", then the
second argument will be evaluated.
What is the "Application Name" for OO3 Writer?
