[EN] Autostart Applications on certain Workplaces

[Lord Andal]

Hy!

I have tried a lot and found a solution to autostart Applications after a boot on certain Workplaces under Cinnamon.

Goal: After a boot/reboot certain Applications should automaticly start on their certain Position on my Desktops...

for Example:

1. Workplace - Firefox, 2. Workplace - Kodi, 3. Workplace - Guayadeque, 4. Workplace - MusicBrainz Picard

After Research i missed a simple Way like kde it has.
But there is a Workaround:

At first, add starter for each Application you want in the Startapplications Menu...

with wmctrl -l you can get the names of the Applications you want.

Then write a script sudo nano /usr/bin/placeapps.sh

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

wmctrl -r "MusicBrainz Picard" -t 3
wmctrl -r "Guayadeque Music Player 0.4.5-" -t 2
wmctrl -r "Kodi" -t

make the script executbale: chmod +x /usr/bin/placeapps.sh

and add it to the startapps with an start delay about 10s or so... it depends on the Speed of your System...

Voila!

For me it works perfectly!

When you have any suggestions or problems, write below..

Only one simple Wish from my side:

Would it not be nice if such a possibility already built in in the start apps menu from cinnemon?!?

Maybe with a few more options?

just an Idea...
