Hi,
I hope that it is not too late to ask your community to ensure that apps will open in the workspace from which they are called and not in the current workspace.
I do not know, what you mean by "the workspace from which they are called".
To be more precise, after starting my computer I choose 5 apps to get opened. 2 in workspace 1, 2 in workspace 2 and 1 in workspace 3. Before the completion of their start I choose to be in workspace 4. None of the 5 apps should open in workspace 4! This feature would also be a general option, like: "Allow apps to start in current workspace: false/true".
Thanks in advance.
I assume you're using Sculpt OS?!
If so, I can confirm that components you start, either interactively via the "Leitzentrale", or automatically at startup when loading a persistent runtime configuration, will be placed exactly at the workspaces you've defined beforehand. I use it day-by-day, and all my pre-configured components start at exactly the workspaces I've left them beforehand. Of course, you've to use the window-layouter in combination with a persistent "rules" configuration file, which states the window's size, position and workspace.
To do so, you have to integrate the wm components individually, and shouldn't use the fully integrated "themed wm" package. Instead first instantiate a "recall fs", and then the "wm", "window-layouter" and "themed decorator" packages afterwards. When integrating the "window-layouter" package, you should route its configuration to the "recall fs", which as the title suggests makes the configuration changes persistent.
BTW.: if you have such specific requests, and/or issue descriptions you might use our issue tracker at Github to describe the missing or unwanted behaviour in more detail.
