Re: I Want To Add Applications To The Openbox rc.xml File

I think I might need special permission to post the image.

You haven't reached your minimum post count. I thought it was 10. And I can't find the section to boost your status.

Try it like this:

  <application class="discord*" role="browser-window">
    <desktop>3</desktop>
    <decor>yes</decor>
    <shade>no</shade>
  </application>

Don't use the "position force" option; that's more for x-y coordinates. For now stay focused on getting discord on the preferred desktop.

Re: I Want To Add Applications To The Openbox rc.xml File

Discord may be one of those applications that does not work well with a window manager's per app settings.

You can try adding the name as well.

  <application class="discord*" role="browser-window" name="PresentDayProduction - Discord">
    <desktop>3</desktop>
    <decor>yes</decor>
    <shade>no</shade>
  </application>

Present Day Production is the server I had open at the time.  But I'll give it a go

Re: I Want To Add Applications To The Openbox rc.xml File

I know this isn't a part of what is going on here with the idea of running the discord program.
I don't use that because it phones home more often then ET wants to go home.

I use Discord in Firefox where I have it locked down so as not to phone home.
In my rc.xml I have it attached to

Alt-d

    <!-- Keybindings for running applications -->
    <keybind key="A-d">
      <action name="Execute">
        <startupnotify>
          <enabled>true</enabled>
          <name>Discord</name>
        </startupnotify>
        <command>firefox https://discord.com/channels/@me https://gist.github.com/matthewzring/9f7bbfd102003963f9be7dbcf7d40e51</command>
      </action>
    </keybind>

Works for me - just no notifications.
The second page that opens is "A guide to Markdown on Discord."

If it works, that would mean every discord server you visit may need it's own entry.

As a test, try this:

    <application class="Thunar">
      <position force="no">
        <x>1%</x>
        <y>1%</y>
      </position>
      <size>
        <width>55%</width>
        <height>75%</height>
      </size>
      <desktop>4</desktop>
      <maximized>no</maximized>
    </application>

see if thunar open on desktop 4 near the upper left corner; working on my system:
