It is intentional ;)

Snapping is now resistance, but you can revert this to the old behaviour using
the "wmtweaks" properties.

I had to choose a default...

Comment 2 Benedikt Meurer 2006-03-06 18:25:18 CET

What is the name of the option? I can't seem to find it.

Shouldn't the "Windows snapping" section be removed from the window manager
preferences dialog if it doesn't have any effect by default? I think it's pretty
confusing right now.

Comment 3 Olivier Fourdan 2006-03-06 18:29:00 CET

The option is still there, and it is still working, it's simply resisting
instead of attracting

Comment 4 Olivier Fourdan 2006-03-06 18:30:42 CET

BTW the option (in English) is "Use edge resistance instead of windows snapping".

Comment 5 Benedikt Meurer 2006-03-06 18:55:13 CET

I don't see this option here.

xfce-mcs-manager restarted properly.

The dialogs look like this:

Looks pretty much like
http://svn.xfce.org/svn/xfce/xfwm4/trunk/mcs-plugin/xfwm4_plugin.c. Did you
forget to commit the changes?

Looking through the source I found snap_resist=false, which does the trick.

I'm fine with whatever default. I'm just confused (and I guess most people will
be) if there's an option named "Windows snapping", but windows don't snap to
each other even if enabled. If it's an option for edge resistance, it should be
labeled "Edge Resistance" instead.

BTW: What is the idea behind the snap_resist=true behaviour? It doesn't seem to
offer any advantage over the window snapping.

Your wmtweaks plugin is outdated. Make sure you remove all copies of wmtweak*.so
and reinstall xfwm4 MCS plugins.

Comment 7 Benedikt Meurer 2006-03-06 19:27:24 CET

Aye, that does the trick for the wmtweaks plugin.

So, can you fix the labels in the wmplugin if the "edge resistance instead of
window snapping" is active?

Comment 8 Olivier Fourdan 2006-03-06 19:31:19 CET

I think I'll revert the default to snapping. It's easier and less confusing for
the users ;)

Comment 9 Olivier Fourdan 2006-03-10 21:42:31 CET

Defaults to snapping again.
