Hi all, The fact that all extensions have their disable() method called when screen lock starts (and enable() called when the screen is unlocked) is new to me, although it's presumably been around a while.
For my shellshape extension (https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/294/shellshape/), this behaviour is really inconvenient, since it cleans up after itself thoroughly - when you come back from the lock screen, all of your wokspace layouts and window dimensions get reset to the default layout. Is there any way for an extension to declare that it is safe to leave running during screen lock? In shellshape's case it wouldn't interfere with the lockscreen at all, although I don't know what the rationale is for disabling extensions so there could be another reason for this behaviour. Here's the github issue link on my extension, if anyone is interested: https://github.com/gfxmonk/shellshape/issues/107 It seems like I'm going to have to try and save the extension's state, then restore it later. But that's quite tricky, as in the general case there may be a huge number of differences between the last state and the current one (workspaces changed, windows resized, moved, or changed workspaces, windows added / closed / minimized). Any ideas appreciated, Thanks - Tim. _______________________________________________ gnome-shell-list mailing list gnome-shell-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list
