Expose bundle identifier in app object #387
Conversation
This can be useful to distinguish between apps like Chrome and Chrome
Canary (which both report their name as "Google Chrome" but have bundle
identifiers `com.google.Chrome` and `com.google.Chrome.canary`
respectively).
This can be used in a `.slate.js` to do things like the following,
which is a layout that pushes Canary windows to the left half of the
screen and normal Chrome windows to the right half:
slate.layout('my-layout', {
'Google Chrome': {
operations: [function(window) {
var app = window.app();
if (app.bundleIdentifier() === 'com.google.Chrome.canary') {
// code to push window left
} else {
// code to push window right
}
}],
repeat: true,
},
});
It turns out the simplest way to figure out the bundle identifier of a given window's app is to run a patched version of Slate; here's the patch and corresponding branch and pull request: https://github.com/wincent/slate/commit/e8de1a768ddd2d8188acfb6009 https://github.com/wincent/slate/commits/bundle-identifiers jigish/slate#387 So that we don't break if we're not running a patched version, we fall back to the old behavior if Slate doesn't have a `bundleIdentifier()` method. The layouts are pretty gnarly and dense at this point, so I'll ponder and see if I can come up with a nice way of expressing these changes. Signed-off-by: Wincent Colaiuta <[email protected]>

@jigish @wincent When implementing this feature, this code may be of help: https://github.com/sdegutis/hydra/blob/b20be10f649f4d1c2c7785a00b0602afec14c801/Hydra/API/application.m#L193-L194 |

It was implemented in the pull request 4 months ago. On Friday, July 18, 2014, Steven Degutis [email protected] wrote:
