Hi guys

first a WARNING i have 0 code skills so this is more of a request or "Cry for help"

I have a particular use case where my screen #1 (S#1) is a laptop and sometimes at home i add an additional screen (S#2).

Im looking for an automated way to have some windows auto move to S#2 when connected and stay there no matter which desktops i use on S#1
currently im using a manual method where every day i get home, connect S#2, manually move 3-4 windows to S#2, quick tile them and then add a sticky state to each one.
i started using the amazing new kcreen module:
http://www.afiestas.org/kscreen-1-0-released/

and it seems very intelligent on knowing when a new monitor is connected/disconnected so that could be really helpful

so what im asking is
a) does anyone have a similar workflow and has any tips/ideas on the subject?
b) alternatively as a temporary solution maybe someone could help create a script where it would take all windows on current desktop on S#1 and move them to S#2 and auto create a sticky state for all of them?

sorry for the long post, just some ideas i thought could be useful for other people!

thx alot

This is doable.

If someone is interested in scripting this, but needs assistance, feel free to approach "kwin 'æt' kde 'døt' org" anytime (or ask here)

KWin scripting API:
http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tut ... ng/API_4.9

Bunch of KWin scripts to look up (the downloaded file is despite the .kwinscript extension just a .zip)

As starting points:
- you want to connect to numberScreensChanged(int count) and at startup check numScreens.
- First obstace will likely be to get the window on the proper screen (toplevel.screen is not writable, so you'll have to walk a different path. Hint: KWin more or les considers windows to be on a screen when their center is)
This script http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/Ga ... ent=156659 can select windows by their class.
