On the search for a(nother) tiling-wm

hi everybody.
i've been using wmii for a couple of month now and i am quite happy, except for a few little things. however, these things irritated me more and more over time, so i decided to look for alternatives. i have the following requirements:
- wmii-like dynamic tagging
- a "tabbed-layout" (ie, h-tab layout, fullscreen with only tabs shown needs to exist)
- it should be possible to have a second statusbar showing information piped in from any source (i don't care if its conky, xmobar, dzen, whatever).
first i thought that it would be easy to find another tiling wm, however after reading through the comparison table at the wiki i found that it is not that easy.
wmii misses the tabbed-layout feature which exists in i3. i3 misses the dynamic tagging unfortunately.
xmonad has the tabbed layout and the second statusbar (at least i think so since i saw screenshots with two status-bars), however i did not manage to get xmonad.actions.tagwindows (which i think may be used to do something like dynamic tagging) to work at all.
stumpwm (which seems to be great btw) just as awesome lacks as most other tiling wms listed in the comparison table in the wiki the tabbed layout feature i am looking for.
i'd love to use dwm, however i didn't find any patches flying around providing the functionality i need.
so, fellow archers. has anybody a configuration in any tiling-wm that achieves these three goals (dynamic tags aka workspaces, tabbed layout and a second statusbar)? if so, please step forward and show me your config

hi ashren, first of, thanks for replying.
i did have a look at the comments provided in tagwindows and i realized that at least it does something. i did come so far that i could assign tags to windows (which is good).
i am still struggeling however to get keybindings done in a wmii way. which means tagging a window also removes the current tag and basically "hides" the active client from the current workspace by "moving" it to the newly assigned tag). tagwindows currently only adds the additional tag and i am not able to generate a keybinding that lets me cycle through tags and if i choose a tag showing only those clients being tagged with the chosen tag. difficult to explain somehow.
anyone here uses tagwindows? or would i be better off asking in #xmonad?

    As as been announced in the News worldwide, "Maps" is structurally defective and Apple itself is recommending that Users use a different 3rd party map app until they can sort it out.

  • HT4796 The PC side quits during the search for files to migrate. It starts with Documents then dies.

    I am trying to migrate Office Outlook info from a Windows 7 PC to a MacBook Air Mac OS X v10.7 Lion. The computers match, then the search for files commences and the PC side quits. No programs are open and the Windows auto update is off. I uninstalled and reinstalled the migration assistant program with the same result.

    That's nothing!
    An engineer and I contacted Adobe technical support by phone to ensure the PC I was having custom built was configured to its optimum. They advised XP64 as the best operating environment. After that discussion we had to completely revise procurement, etc to get the bits and compatible XP64 compatible software, putting the build project back a few weeks as well, Imagine how I laughed when I found out on one of these forums that XP64 is the worst choice and totally unsupported by CS4!
    I have written to Shantanu Narayen, Adobe CEO and didn't even get an acknowledgement I raised this last week on the Adobe stand at BVE and was told they'd get someone to contact me asap but guess what, niet...! To be fair there has been one Adobe executive that recognises the problem and the damage poor customer support is causing the company; he has been as helpful as he can. Unfortunately, it seems the overall Adobe culture at the top is "get the money and run". If your problem goes beyond what's already on their web pages, tough luck!

  • In iTunes 11.0.2.26, an Albums search by track names returns albums as if they only have one track on them, but I still want to access the entire album. How can I have the search results show the entire album (with just the searched for name highlighted)?

    Hello, all.
    In iTunes 11.0.2.26, an Albums search by track names returns albums as if they only have one track on them, but I still want to access the entire album. How can I have the search results show the entire album (with just the searched for name highlighted)? For instance, I'm wanting to play an album with a particular track on it or I'm searching for albums that include that track. iTunes incorrectly assumes that all I'm after is that one track and then incorrectly displays the album as if there is only one ttrack on it. This is a bonkers default setting. Can I change this?

    Click the search magnifying glass and uncheck "Search entire library".
    Type in the name of the track.
    Click the album of interest to show tracks.
    Select the track.
    Press the X in the search box to clear the search.
    Double click the track you want to start playing first.

  • The search for a perfect design pattern

    The search for a perfect design pattern
    I am searching tip to upgrade a labview program used. I am looking for the best approach to make
    my program more robust and scalable.Software and hardware. 
    Today the system consists of :
    GPS, weather station, ultrasound wind sensor, echosounder  and a  webcamera,  all connected to a computer.
    The computer OS is XP pro with Labview version 2009 installed. Except for the webcamera all peripherals have serial communication interface. 
    The webcamera  interface is ethernet.
    Device                           Data type                 Interval                    Interface
    GPS                                NMEA string                1 second                   Serial  rs232
    Ultrasound wind sensor   NMEA string                1 second                   Serial rs232
    Weather, temp,humid     NMEA string               35 seconds                 Serial rs232
    Echosounder                  NMEA string               500ms-5 seconds       Serial rs232
                                                                          (depending of depth)
    Webcamera                    Jpg                           Snapshot on demand  Ethernet
    The tasks to be solved
    All the data have to be stored.
    All the data have to be displayed in real time.
    Weather history data must be buffered to be plotted in a graph (pop-up windows).
    Absolute wind speed and direction have to be calculated.
    Option to send navigation data attached to email at desired time intervals.
    Image snapshot at desired time intervals.
    The data wich streams into the serial ports are not synchronized and vary in intervals . Would it be a good idea to put all the serial peripherals into a serial device server. Is it possible to let the server place a event in my software, to  trigger reading of the data, from the the server.  Or how could that be done in other ways?
    The perfect design pattern
    In version one of the software I use 4 parallel loops to read data at the serial ports, inside these loops the data was separated and outputted to a datasocket server.  I used datasocked read in other loops to present and store data. But it did not look good, and yes it was a mess, a really rat nest. I am looking for a better design pattern.
     Could some kind of producer/ consumer pattern be the way to go?
    Comments and tips are wanted.

    Nice Project! Congratulations ;-)
    I am not an expert for large applications. But your project looks nice and manageable. Here my straightforward ideas:
    I would build a GUI, with menu bar, pop-up graph display thing.
    THen low level tasks with each one handling a RS232 device and feeding queues or fireing notifications.
    Maybe handle the snapshots in an event structure on the GUI blockdiagramm.
    When GUI and producer tasks are running, close the gap with a middle layer which captures the data and actualizes GUI by reference. For instance the graph-thing-dialogue triggers a "flush queue" and displays the last 200 entries of the array of data.
    I often run into issues when having defined too many userevent structures. I guess i am too stupid for that. Thats why i rather use queues (when i dont want to loose data) or notifiers (data is up-to-date). Nevertheless I like a "stop-all-tasks" user event...traditionally.
    My team is actually developing a large application. We are using LabVIEW classes and objects.
    So have fun!
    Yours

  • Skipping the search for linked images

    Hi all
    My indesign document have 250 images. While I have moved the indesign document to different server. All the images are missing links now. While I am opening the document indesign looking for image links, this process is cosuming more time to open the document.
    I want to just skip the searching for linked file and open the file. I will relink them afterwards.
    Skipping the search for linked images while opening the indesign file is prossible?
    Thanks in advance
    Regards

    That preference can be changed. Edit>preferences>file linking (Windows) or InDesign>preferences>file linking (Mac)

  • Problems with the Search for room content

    Hi,
    I face a problem configuring the search for room content using KM search iView (com.sap.km.Search).
    I found the chapter Configuring the Search for Room Content in the help. So I set up the following things :
    1- I assign the room_id iView parameter to the roomid room parameter (in the template)
    2- I added room_cm_search component to the component set (I added it at the bottom of the "component for basic search function")
    3- I select the entry "Folder" as the default search scope in the search option set. I specify a root folder for search as well.
    But it doesn't work properly. It always returns "no result found". And if I add the room_cm_search component at the top of the "component for basic search function", It runs the search on all the documents of the default search scope, and not only on the room documents.
    Can you please tell me the right way to configure the search for room content using the com.sap.km.Search iView ?
    I work on EP 7.0 SP 10.
    Thanks a lot,
    Loïc LEVEUGLE

    Hi Loic,
    the Room Content Search iView is a special Search iView that is filtering for documents that were created in the Room Context (all documents get a specific metadata that is keeping the roomiD) . The easiest thing is to use the standard iView used for the delivered templates from SAP.
    I would advise to use the iView that is already preconfigured for a room template or part template and can be found and referenced in your template from the following path: Portal Content ->com.sap.ip.collaboration--> TemplateAndPartContent --> Generic -->iViews and take the iView "Search Room"
    If you reference that iView in your room template or room part template, you have to think about the correct configuration in the template configuration iView. Just take as example the configuration of the part template "SAP Search Room".
    Or even better: Copy a template (room or part) from SAP that is containing the Room Search and delete everything what you don´t need out of the template. You safe time and you can add all additional content you´ll need to your template. Some ideas can be found in the following "How to Guide":
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f0496f69-cb70-2910-21a6-c4cf2cc66311
    What you have written under 3 -> would never work as the root folder for search doesn´t make any sense as the documents of a room are stored in different folders and you can´t define a root folder. Therefor you have the specific room_id parameter that is filtering what documents belong to the room.
    Good luck,
    Anja

  • What is the Search for:-  All images/All documents/all movies for in Finder

    I am confused as to the purpose of Search for:- All images/documents/movies in Finder. I seem to have documents, pictures and music I have never seen or downloaded, and often photos I have actually downloaded are copied in triplicate sometimes more. I have at times got 10,000 items in my documents in Search for? My worry really is does this all take up memory on my computer and if so why is it happening and how do I stop it?
    I do hope someone can explain the purpose of the Search For?
    Jai309

    Thanks Kappy, I had thought that is what it probably was but just confused by all the items I never searched for or downloaded. Now that I know it doesn't take up any memory I shan't worry about it. When I deleted everything from the search for files all the photos in my iphoto and documents were also removed. (thankfully I always have my stuff backed up on hard drive) I guess one just shouldn't remove them? Is there a safe way to clear it out without loosing the stuff I need to keep?
    Regards

  • TS1424 The search for itunes wont work..... any ideas?

    The search for itunes will not work...I can put the name in but when I click on the search symbol it will not work?

    If you want to simply do a 'fresh' install (versus wiping out all of your data and doing a 'clean' install) simply boot to your Recovery partition (hold down the Command and R keys whilst booting) and when the Recovery screen appears, elect to freshly install OS X.
    Don't know that will solve your problem, though... did you do the 'automatic' update or download the update as a disk image (.dmg)? I wouldn't think that would be causing your problems...

  • Droid Bionic will not turn on (Searched the internet for answers, nothing)

    Currently, my Droid Bionic will not charge/power on. If I plug I connect it to the wall charger, nothing. If I plug it to my computer, nothing. If I bypass the USB port and use a stripped USB cable directly to the battery while it's in the phone, it turns on, but doesn't charge (Let it sit for hours turned off, then pull the cable, and no power). I've done these methods with numerous cables to include the OEM cable/charger and other branded cables/chargers and I get nothing. I can get the white light to come on with any cable and charger if I have the USB cable in slightly, but it doesn't charge or turn on when left for hours. I've tried with numerous batteries both from friends and new, same story....nothing. The only thing to get the phone on is by bypassing the usb port on the phone and directly wiring the usb cable to the battery while in the phone.
    Oh and......
    For a loooooooong time now, I have been researching the internet searching for answers to my issue....and nothing has worked. The phone is relatively new. bought it in May 2012 and have been experiencing this problem since June 2012. It's December 2012 now, so yea...a long time.

    I am having the same issue since last night (although i have not yet tried stripping a USB cable and connecting directly to the battery while in the phone) where the phone will not boot at all with any combination of SIM card, SD card, USB charger/computer, etc.
    I did come across one solution online though that you might try. One person said they had the same issue, however it was a bad SD card that was shorting out his battery and instantly draining it (he tried multiple fully charged brand new batteries with same issue).
    I would suggest removing the SD card to see if thats the problem. If not then i'd be interested to see if you do find a solution. Mine was buggy ever since the last update and finally died completely last night. I'll be going in for a replacement today.
    Hope this helps

  • Upon launching Firefox, the opening page shows an area where I can search for info, but the search button does nothing.

    The opening page shows 2 things: a search bar and restore previous session. When I try to use the search bar, nothing happens.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.

    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"

  • The search for my book is wrong

    I got my book in the store but the search isn't right.
    The title is Hot Rod Guitars Electronics.
    I want people to find it by searching: guitar electronics or guitar wiring.
    How do I get this changed?
    Thanks for the help.

    I fixed the subtitle and did some glossary edits, changed the version to 1.3.
    Uploade the new version and nothing has changed.
    The version hasn't changed nor the search.
    Does it take some time for the change or is is suppose to be an instant replace of old book?
    I read somewhere in the forum that the search also looks at the subtitle. Is this correct?
    Thanks for any help.

  • Restricting the Search  for Material while creating Shopping Cart

    HI SRM GURUS
    We are in SRM version 5.0 and following a classic scenarios.
    In search strategy while we are creating a shopping cart and we click on the start button a list of all the  materails  appear from where the user can select any item.
    Now in R/3 if a user belongs to Mumbai plant can we restrict the search that only material existing in Mumbai plant in R/3 appears in the search criteria and not that all the materials are displayed.
