PCManFM not raised, but Dolphin is about run-or-raise HOT 3 CLOSED

(sorry I won't have time to look to this issue this week :( )

Ah. Well, I'm glad all with the extensions is in order. I appreciate both the explanation, and the tips. Thank you for those!

Unfortunately I have bad news for you. As run-or-raise works with windows, it has no clue what's happenning in the application. The tabs the application manages are internal.

In your case both wm_class and title are set, so both must match. If you're on the Downloads tab in an application, it is found and raised to the active workspace. However, when you're on the different tab, launch command is triggered and two things happen.

• dolphin ~/Downloads → dolphin moves to the active workspace (but no due to run-or-raise but because dolphin). However, tab with the Download folder is not the chosen one.
• pcmanfm ~/Downloads → pcmanfm opens a new tab with Download and does not choose to change the workspace

So this has something to do with the will of the applications. You have many different options to cope with that. Change the program, using dolphin --new-window, walk through the pcmanfm parameters to see what it can come up with... My way is to use Krusader and Ctrl+D to change bookmarked directories.
