sawfish.wm.ext.pager
Sawfish native pager
About
sawfish.wm.ext.pager is a c/lisp extension that provides a functional desktop pager for the sawfish window manager. Originally written by Daniel Pfeiffer, it has been minimally supported since 2002, but still (somewhat) widely used. sawfish.wm.ext.pager is distributed under the GNU General Public License.
A pager is a map of your desktop. As maps go, it shows not only the visible part (your current viewport), but, if you are so configured, also the parts that extend beyond the sides of your screen. Also, if you have more than one workspace, the pager will follow you to where you are, or optionally show all workspaces at once. Of course you can select viewports and windows, and also move or raise/lower the latter.

| Moving windows with viewports is buggy, but I fear that may be sawfish itself. You have to go to the destination workspace and destop, and then drag the window there -- it only works right that way round. This worked the other way round too, till I updated ages ago to a CVS 1.3. [Editors note:] Viewport support in the sawfish CVS tree appears to be deprecated, so your mileage using viewports with current versions may vary. (0 comments) |

| sawfish.wm.ext.pager is a c/lisp extension that provides a functional desktop pager for the sawfish window manager. Originally written by Daniel Pfeiffer, it has been unsupported since 2002, but still (somewhat) widely used. The original website recently became unavailable, but thanks to the quick response from the original author, I obtained all the release tarballs and website text. The release tarballs are available through the standard file release mechanism of this sourceforge project. I have also populated the cvs repositary with all historical versions of the code (tagged appropriately). If you use this pager and you would like cvs commit access to add your patches, please email the project admin - no reasonable request refused. (0 comments) |
