Re: Two DeskTops ! ................ What do you use yours for?
I've used three workspaces for years. One has a web browser on it, one an email client, and the third for everything else.
It's much faster over the course of a day to just switch between them when needed.

Typically, alpha for the web browser, beta for mail client, gamma for file manager & audio player, delta for anything else...

I would use a second desktop workspace if running a virtual machine...preferably a second monitor.

Re: Two DeskTops ! ................ What do you use yours for?
I gradually increased the number of Workspaces over my first 4 years until I ended up with 6. This has been my standard for the last 5 years. I find it easier to roll the mouse button to switch programs than select an icon.
My standard arrangement is 1 for the file utility, 2 for email client, 3 for the browser, 4 for whatever my main project is (document, spreadsheet, music score, audio file, etc). I keep 5 to run anything else short term and 6 for VirtualBox.

Not exactly - or at least mine didn't look like that!
But conceptually, yes.
You second picture - did you get a new printer accessory - - the weed wacker paper shredder?

Do you people have your "workspace programs" automatically open to a specific workspace?
And if you do, how do you accomplish that?

I could never get that to work reliably with Xfce.MXRobo wrote: ↑Tue May 14, 2024 1:32 pm

Sorry you could not get it to work with Xfce. I've been using Xfce since I switch from Mephis to MX and have never fail to get it to work.chrispop99 wrote: ↑Tue May 14, 2024 1:34 pmI could never get that to work reliably with Xfce.MXRobo wrote: ↑Tue May 14, 2024 1:32 pm

It is easier to fight for one's principles then to live up to them.
Re: Two DeskTops ! ................ What do you use yours for?
Yes - "Save session for future logins" does most of it. Vivaldi doesn't open, but when started it opens in the correct position.MXRobo wrote: ↑Tue May 14, 2024 1:32 pm

Re: Two DeskTops ! ................ What do you use yours for?
@Gaer Boy Thanks for hitting me over the head with the obvious.
I have NEVER used "Save session for future logins", not once!
I'll have to try that.
@towwire Thanks for absolutely confirming that it will work.
For both, because, I knew workspaces were very handy, but for some reason it never occurred to me to open programs in specific workspaces – perhaps because I didn't know that it was possible.
Thanks again, I'll be using that soon.
