Comment (by leavengood):
Wow, was it 2 months ago when I last worked on this? I did try to "bang
something out" back then, but it was not so easy.
Tonight I decided to take a step back and implemented a prototype for a
NewWindowPolicy class in Ruby, and I have something working fairly well.
The basic idea is to have a simple WindowState class which has a title
(BString) and location (BPoint), and the NewWindowPolicy class has methods
to get the next WindowState and a method which is called when a window is
closed. The next method stores the returned window state in a list. The
closed method will check if the closing window's attributes (title and
position) is in the list, and if it is, it will be moved from the main
list into a recycled list. Then if there is anything in the recycled list
it will be used before generating something new in next. I wrote an RSpec
for my Ruby class and it works pretty well.
So now I'll try to convert it to C++ and see how that works. Since I
recall seeing other bugs about the window handling of other applications
in Haiku, I imagine this class (which I'll put in the shared kit) can be
used in other places.
