Is there are way to get new windows (i.e. subpatches, abstractions...) to automatically open in tabs, similar to how Firefox opens new tabs for new sites?

I remember someone mentioned this in the last week. Can anyone give a howto or link to docs?

Hi Michael and Andy,

I followed these directions but they didn't work. For example, I added "xterm" to .fluxbox/groups and it tabs nicely when I open a new term. So I added the line "Pd Toplevel", which is what

xprop |awk '/WM_CLASS/{print $4}'

reports for the main window and all the patch windows, respectively. However, creating a new window or opening a subpatch still comes up in a new window.

I was just writing that that didn't work, but then...... Ah, you mean "middle-click"! ;-) But even when I do this, new windows don't tab.

Any other suggestions?

OK, got it working. In short:

1. Don't use ~/fluxbox/groups file, it's outdated.

2. Add the following to your ~/.fluxbox/apps [group] [app] (class=Pd) [app] (class=Toplevel) [end]

And restart fluxbox. All new PD windows will open tabbed to the first PD patch you open.

best, d.

I guess that was outdated. The answer seems to be here:

http://fluxbox-wiki.org/index.php/Howto_edit_the_apps_file#Grouping_apps_via...

I double check it and get back with details...
