I want to Gimp always opens in the second workspace.
With - System Settings / Windows Behavior / Window Rules - I'm able to configure that the gimp-image-windows and gimp-tolbar open in another workspace without problems.
Problem comes with setting the gimp-dock. I have two gimp-dock.
I do not know how to adjust them. They open in another workspace, but they cover each other, one above the other.
I tried various settings - without success. Or cover one another or stay in the first workspace.
Some idea.

Have you tried setting Window rules on the GIMP Dock windows as well, or do the rules have no impact?

You should be able to right click on the dock windows to perform the same procedure. If you cannot, open System Settings > Window Behaviour > Window Rules > New. Press "Detect Window Properties" then click on a GIMP Dock window, then configure it as you normally do.

Need to look like this, to always open on second desktop, with this position of the Gimp windows.

I need to adjust each Gimp windows (gimp-image-windows, gimp-tolbar and gimp-dock)

As I noted the problem is that I have two gimp-dock one with name "Gimp - Navigation, Histogram, Colormap, Selection, Pointer, Sample Points - Layers, Channels, Paths" and second with name "Gimp - Images - Undo - History")

I only succeeded to appear on the second monitor all GIMP windows if two gimp-dock are one above the other

System Settings / Window Behaviour / Window Rules - look like this

When for gimp-dock1 and gimp-dock 2 in System Settings... put the name (for gimp-dock 1 put Windows title: Exact Match: Images - Undo - History, Templates ....) does not work, not open on second monitor.

Did you try using the "Detect Window Properties" on each Window, rather than attempting to enter the settings manually? KWin should be able to detect the needed values.

Yes I try to use "Detect Window Properties - nothing.
I think I should use the column "Windows title" but when I put names does not function - stay on the first workspace not open on the second.

Unfortunately i'm not sure what the values should be if KWin cannot detect them - there is no reason i'm aware of why the detection would fail. My guess is that GIMP is performing some weird tricks to workaround something and they are breaking the detection.

As a workaround, you might want to see if the other GIMP windows share a common Window Class or name such as "GIMP" and simply match on that for all of them.
