Remember split size?

[justusthane]

Consider the following scenario:

Two windows are tiled side-by-side, with each taking up 50% of the monitor. The windows are resized so one column is wider than the other. One window is minimized and subsequently restored. The split is now back to 50/50.

Is it possible to have Komorebi remember the previous split dimensions so that when the second window is restored it returns to the same layout?

Incredible app, thank you for creating this!

It seems it does remember if you maximize a window then restore, but forgets if you go into monocle mode then restore. Indeed, it would be nice to remember for that case as well.

EDIT: Oh. If I maximize with the mouse it remembers, but if I use the komorebic command it forgets.

I'm interested in minimizing - whether I minimize using the mouse or komorebic minimize, it does not remember the split dimensions when restoring.

Although it is possible that I'm just "using it wrong" by expecting it to work this way, as I'm not experienced with Tiling Windows Managers.

Oh, I read your original post wrong. Yeah, minimizing doesn't save anything for me no matter how I do it.

You can assign binds for komorebi save-resize <filepath> and komorebic load-resize <filepath> to achieve this:

https://lgug2z.github.io/komorebi/cli/load-resize.html

Once a window is removed from the window manager's visibility tree (eg. windows are minimized or closed) any state associated with those windows is also removed (resize dimensions are stored alongside window containers) - the only way around this is to serialize and write these ephemeral resize dimensions to disk and then load them up again in the future whenever you want them reapplied.

Thank you!
