What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Tile windows on both monitors
2. Switch to another desktop
3. Switch back

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected: windows remain tiled on both desktops
Issue: windows get scrambled on one monitor

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Relocate the taskbar
2. Start PWT

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Windows aren't tiled correctly.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Click on the taskbar
2. press Ctrl+Shft+D

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: nothing, Instead: the taskbar changes shape to accommodate an 
invisible windows border, making it somewhat unusable until I press Ctrl+Shft+D 
again.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Latest

hi.
  Sorry .. found no other way to contact you.

  Which is the current repo ?
is it this : code.google.com/p/python-windows-tiler/
or this : https://github.com/Tzbob/python-windows-tiler

-TIA
Vardhan

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run Console2

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
- The cmd.exe window is not hidden, but tiled
- The Console window is not tiled, but floating

Please provide any additional information below.

Console2 ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/console/ ) is the equivalent of a 
terminal emulator for Windows: a decent graphical interface for the command 
prompt.

Console2 works by hiding the standard cmd.exe console and redirecting input and 
output to a resizable, configurable and tabbed window.

[deleted issue]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. starting pwt and chrome
2. alt+space

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Windows 7 64bit Home Premium
PWT64 V0.8

Please provide any additional information below.
hiding the decorations dont free extra place in chrome. maybe its possible 
simply deactivating the feature for the chrome window.

I don't believe this is easy to reproduce, so I'll just describe what I was 
doing:
1. Install PWT 3.2 on windows XP.
2. Open windows on few tilers. Run for days.
3. Clean all tiler except one.
4. Start switching tilers in random order.
5. A error message appears (attached), PWT exits.

The error log only shows errors that happened two days ago:

2011-08-29 10:43:04,890 - INFO - START controller
2011-08-29 11:26:10,671 - INFO - START controller
2011-08-29 13:45:42,358 - ERROR - Error while placing window
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "E:\Python\PythonWindowsTilerV0.2\pwt\window.py", line 159, in position
pywintypes.error: (1400, 'GetWindowPlacement', 'Invalid window handle.')

I have some programs that don't tile properly, or that I want to keep at 
certain dimensions. I'd like to put them all in a workspace, and mark that 
workspace as "don't tile", so that I can move and resize anything in it 
manually (mousally?).

First off: Thanks for the one no-nonsense usable TWM for Windows!

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Drag pane out of VS2010 to be 'floating' (to display on second screen)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Pane should be visible in the group that VS is in. Instead, it is shown in each 
group. Also it does not seem to be handled by the tiling mechanisms at all, as 
if it were no window (well, I guess technically it is not a 'normal' window at 
all).

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Using current PWT on Win XP.

Please provide any additional information below.
I'm a developer, so I will gladly check out any technical parameters of the 
'offending' pane, if that helps.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Leave computer alone for some time, or
2. Computer has 'a lot to do' (CPU load, file system access)
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The following error message box appears: 

---------------------------
cx_Freeze: Python error in main script
---------------------------

---------------------------
OK

After acknowledging the message box, the PWT process stops.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Latest version on Win XP.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
closing the application

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Windows 7 64bit Home Premium
PWT64 V0.8

I've just been playing around with the program for about an hour now (great 
job, by the way, after using xmonad on linux I was getting really frustrated at 
Windows until I found this program), and the only issue I can find is that 
whenever I have an instance of chrome running and i try to open a new one the 
window's size is slightly larger than the screen which causes some issues.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Have multiple displays connected
2. Start Chrome
3. Start another chrome window (ctrl+N, middle click on chrome icon, etc.)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expected chrome to nicely fit within the automatically generated grid, 
however, the new chrome window slightly extends to the second monitor and any 
attempt to modify this (either using ctrl+shft+H/L, or by manual resize) will 
cause the window to erratically increase it's size further. At some point, the 
cursor may enter the second screen when I ctrl+J/K into it, causing me to lose 
focus of the main screen's windows unless i use ctrl+U/I. 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Latest Version (as of October 8th) and up-to-date Windows 7, 64bit.

I'm a CS student at Georgia Tech, and quite familiar with Python, so I will 
probably take a look at the source code soon and see if I learn more 
(especially to solve this feature and perhaps add functionality), currently the 
only thing stopping me is a lack of the free time necessary for this. As soon 
as I'm available, I look forward to seeing how this programs ends up.
