Hello everyone, this version is special not only because of the new features, but also because for the first time someone has contributed to the code. This may seem trivial, but it is important to me and to the project, as it means that people like it and it will continue to grow over time

Djmenig, I don't know if you will read this, but thank you for your time and for your interest in making Fluid Tile better

Features

  • Auto-switch layout based on tile count made by djmenig This new feature allows you to choose whether you want to add new desktops or switch to the next available layout with the default layouts, avoiding the creation of new desktops
  • Add "Trigger overflow per screen", only works when "Switch to next tile layout" is enabled

Improvements

  • The trigger that displayed the UI is now more accurate
  • The QML object Timer is created dynamically and works independently
  • Simplified the tile assignment process
  • Preventing signals from other windows from being disabled in certain processes
  • Maximize trigger simplified

That's all, remember that you can support the project by adding your ideas, reporting errors, or making pull requests, as well as inviting me to a “ko-fi”

Have a nice K-day!!!

how is this one different from krohnkite and karousel?

[–] Serroda@lemmy.world 5 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Fluid tile does not replace the KWin tiling system, just adds more auto-tiling features. Krohnkrite and Karousel replace the current KWin tiling system

Fluid tile works with KWin tile editor (Meta + T shortcut), this allows better integration with KWin without needing to create another tile editor as is the case in Krohnkite, additionally, you can use the shortcuts that come with KDE by default to move windows, and expands functionalities such as changing the tile layout with shortcuts, etc..

The idea is to adapt to the KWin tiling system, not replace it
