pads revert to same workspace after logging out and back in
This started happening after upgrading to Pop!_OS 20.04 LTS from 19.10.

[Arthur Borsboom (arthurborsboom)]

Which version of Xpad shows this behavior?

[Alan Griffith (g36054)]

xpad 5.4.0-1

Do you know which version was being used in Pop!_OS 19.10 ?
Are you are able to downgrade to that version to test if it makes a
difference?

The previous OS release https://packages.ubuntu.com/eoan/xpad has 5.4.0-1
the same as the current release https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/xpad

I tested xpad 5.0.0-1 from
https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/x/xpad/ on the current
version of PopOS and the notes move back to the same workspace after
logging out and in

I tried installing popos 19.10 in a vm, updating all packages to latest
19.10 version, installing xpad, creating notes, moving to different
workspaces and logging out and logging back in. All notes moved back to the
same workspace

Do I understand it correct that both Xpad 5.0 and 5.4 have the same issue
and is unrelated to the PopOS upgrade, since the issue is in both PopOS
versions with both Xpad versions?

Yes, it worked right before and doesn't now. I don't know what could have
been different to reproduce the change

Xpad heavily depends on GTK, an application framework, which (IMHO) has the
tendency to break things.
Which desktop environment is used by PopOS? Is that Lxqt, KDE plasma,
gnome, ... ?

[Alan Griffith (g36054)]

A work around is a shell script like

function wspace { e=$(wmctrl -d|wc -l); [[ $2 -gt 0 || $2 -lt $e ]] && wmctrl -l|sed '/'"$1"'/!d;s/ .*//' |xargs -I{} wmctrl -i -r {} -t$2; }

In the bash shell the function takes a quoted string string matching one or more window titles and an interger between 0 and the number of workspaces -1

wmctrl is the command queried for number of workspaces (desktops) with -d and list of windows with -l. Using -l, the 2nd value on each row is an int matching the window to a workspace.

I did check for this int in $HOME/.config/xpad/info-*. It wasn't there, though window geonetry was. Of course I don't know whether this information is helpful in fixing a C program.

[Howard Thomson (howard-thomson)]

On Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS using Xpad 5.0, I want to pin notes to a specific Workspace, and Xpad continually loses the 'Only on this workspace' desktop setting.

Hi Howard,

Would you mind to specify in more detail how the issue can be reproduced?
For example

- Install Ubuntu 18.0.4
- Install Xpad 5.0
- Create note on workspace 1
- Switch to workspace 2
- ...

Also, does the problem happen also with Xpad 5.4 or 5.5?
