Plank Dock! Mar 16, 2021 18:50:51 GMT

I really like plank dock, but it doesn't fully support enlightment/moksha in that it cannot minimize or close apps like it's supposed to. I still use it anyway as bodhi doesnt offer a way to combine taskbar+ibar and I prefer this functionality even with limitations... but doesn't mean I wouldn't like them to work!

I suspect someone who knows what they're doing could add what's needed, the maintainer is active and friendly on freenode #plank and would probablyaccept PR and maintains an current version ppa so we could use it right away, but my subtle hints and bug reports trying to convince him to do it don't seem to be working

Plank dock is written in Vala a language I don't know. I have some interest in learning a bit about it, more than i know now which is little more than what it is. Your hints and bug reports about it playing well with moksha/enlightenment are unlikely to work as it would force him to try to understand how enlightenment does that kind of stuff and to do that he would have to understand EFL and that is a non trivial task. Much harder than learning gtk or vala programming. Just saying ...

Only the code knows the truth.
