Bug Description

Since update to 1.0 some major thing has changed for me:

The group mode (Meta+g) applies broadcast to all open terminator windows what is usually not what people want (?). Before this update it was broadcasting for the current window only. Can I change that? I always need to define a group for the current window first to restrict broadcasts to that.

Please add a global option for the default grouping on new windows:
* Group none
* Create group for the window only
* Group all

I know that these new behaviour is based on DBus, without using DBus I would get the old behaviour of only grouping the current window. But DBus has its advantage and I like to have both.

Please bring back the behaviour of default grouping the current window by key-stroke while still having DBus enabled. I used that to open 10 root terminals by entering su - and password once on 10 terminals.

PS.: I tried getting some password less root login using the sudo -i, sudoers timeout and Defaults !tty_tickets, but this is highly risky as it grants root access to every binary within the timeslot, so I like to avoid that.

I have the same problem, please add an option to just group the terminals on the current window.

After it worked for a while, now this issue is back. I wonder what has changed as I did not change my terminator build, maybe something about DBus has changed in the back?

I still have the wish that new windows add a default group for the window only.

Is the bzr repo not updated anymore, do I have the right repo here? Head revision currently is

I switched to the trunk/ branch.
The only workaround for now is disabling DBus, but this is no solution.
