Switcher applet not add the desktop, when desktop is one.

[Robo]

hello, there is one bug in cairo-dock-plugins-2.1.1-2 in switcher applet, when remove the last desktop till it get 1 desktop, then it doesn't add a desktop operation. Why so?

void cd_switcher_add_a_desktop (void)
{
 cd_switcher_change_nb_desktops (+1);
}

static void cd_switcher_change_nb_desktops (int iDeltaNbDesktops)
{
 if (g_iNbDesktops >= g_iNbViewportX * g_iNbViewportY)
 {
  cairo_dock_set_nb_desktops (g_iNbDesktops + iDeltaNbDesktops);
 }
 else
 {
  if (g_iNbViewportX >= g_iNbViewportY)
   cairo_dock_set_nb_viewports (g_iNbViewportX + iDeltaNbDesktops, g_iNbViewportY);
  else
   cairo_dock_set_nb_viewports (g_iNbViewportX, g_iNbViewportY + iDeltaNbDesktops);
 }
}

Thanks to have reported this bug. I confirme it !

it does work, but it adds a desktop, instead of a viewport.
I guess you're using Compiz, and Compiz uses only 1 desktop with several viewports.

when there is only 1 desktop and 1 viewport, the dock can't guess if it should add a desktop or a viewport.

so this is not really a bug, but rather a limitation.
since I don't see the point of having 1 desktop/viewport, I think I'll keep the current working ^_^
