automatic tagging on executing a program

[Davide Anchisi]

Hi,

I created the tagrule:
/gimp/ -> gimp
in rc.wmii.local

So to tag gimp as gimp when executing it.
It works, but the program does not begin to start until I open the
newly created view.

What is missing?
Is there a way so that the view switches to the new gimp view when I
execute gimp?

Thanks,

Davide

I've noticed that too. It's quite irritating, and seems to be a
gimp bug. It seems to wait around for its splash screen to be
mapped before it begins initialization, which is clearly absurd.
At any rate, yes, it's possible, with something like this:

focustags = (gimp)
fn Event-CreateTag {
echo $wmiinormcol $* | wmiir create /lbar/$"*
if (~ $"* $focustags)
wmiir xwrite /ctl view $*
}

It turns out that if you run 'gimp -s', this isn't an issue.
