I found an app in windows for this: Plumb from Palatial Software. There is a nice video on youtube called "Vive le tiling sous Windows avec Plumb!" showing its possibilities. I loved that feature to auto tile windows when new opens and dynamic resize other when you resize only one of them.

Plumb has problems with windows like Spotify, Origin etc. probably these apps are all written in Electron (Chrome based desktop app).

If not for this little defect I would have used it instead of DisplayFusion. However, I believe that you can do it better in near future :) ]]> RE: Is there a way to automatically tile newly opened windows and change the layout depending on how many windows are open? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/is-there-a-way-to-automatically-tile-newly-opened-windows-and-change-the-layout-depending-on-how-many-windows-are-open/?ID=5ba2a0f2-74ce-444a-81f9-2a5b066cd58f#8 Sat, 09 Sep 2017 01:35:52 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/is-there-a-way-to-automatically-tile-newly-opened-windows-and-change-the-layout-depending-on-how-many-windows-are-open/?ID=5ba2a0f2-74ce-444a-81f9-2a5b066cd58f#8 DisplayFusion No worries, thanks for the kind words!

Currently I try to use Divvy http://mizage.com/divvy/
and AquaSnap https://www.nurgo-software.com/products/aquasnap to get tiled management, but back on linux, I found i3 https://i3wm.org/ invaluable. If any approximation in DisplayFusion could be made, or if you guys ever come out with a new product for it (!!!) I would be extremely grateful.

I will be looking into monitor splits and padding today after work, but a true tiled windows manager on Windows is the dream.

Thanks for DisplayFusion! ]]> RE: Is there a way to automatically tile newly opened windows and change the layout depending on how many windows are open? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/is-there-a-way-to-automatically-tile-newly-opened-windows-and-change-the-layout-depending-on-how-many-windows-are-open/?ID=5ba2a0f2-74ce-444a-81f9-2a5b066cd58f#6 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 17:35:48 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/is-there-a-way-to-automatically-tile-newly-opened-windows-and-change-the-layout-depending-on-how-many-windows-are-open/?ID=5ba2a0f2-74ce-444a-81f9-2a5b066cd58f#6 DisplayFusion Yep! I attached a link to a YouTube video that demos i3-gaps to the feature request so that we can have a look at it if/when we're planning to implement it.

Ok, thanks! There isn't currently a way to do this, but I've added your request to our feature request list. If it's something we're able to implement in a future version, we'll definitely let you know.

Thanks!


Thanks!

Please take a look at how i3-gaps does it on Linux, it does it really well.

Depending on the amount of windows open, it automatically tiles it depending on a set number of rules. ]]> RE: Is there a way to automatically tile newly opened windows and change the layout depending on how many windows are open? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/is-there-a-way-to-automatically-tile-newly-opened-windows-and-change-the-layout-depending-on-how-many-windows-are-open/?ID=5ba2a0f2-74ce-444a-81f9-2a5b066cd58f#4 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 13:38:08 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/is-there-a-way-to-automatically-tile-newly-opened-windows-and-change-the-layout-depending-on-how-many-windows-are-open/?ID=5ba2a0f2-74ce-444a-81f9-2a5b066cd58f#4 DisplayFusion Ok, thanks!

Would you just want them tiled at equal sizes to fill the screen? Or do you need to be able to specify different sizes/zones depending on the number of open windows?


It would be good to be able to specify different sizes/zones depending on the number of open windows. ]]> RE: Is there a way to automatically tile newly opened windows and change the layout depending on how many windows are open? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/is-there-a-way-to-automatically-tile-newly-opened-windows-and-change-the-layout-depending-on-how-many-windows-are-open/?ID=5ba2a0f2-74ce-444a-81f9-2a5b066cd58f#2 Tue, 18 Jul 2017 19:46:36 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/is-there-a-way-to-automatically-tile-newly-opened-windows-and-change-the-layout-depending-on-how-many-windows-are-open/?ID=5ba2a0f2-74ce-444a-81f9-2a5b066cd58f#2 DisplayFusion Would you just want them tiled at equal sizes to fill the screen?

Similar to i3-gaps on Linux.

This would make this program an absolute killer for me and I would love it so much. I already do. But I would love it even more! ]]>
