I really love the extension "auto-move windows", but it is rather limited: the "Add Rule" Button shows a list which only contains certain applications -- those that installed through apt, I suppose. (But then, why whould System Monitor be missing then?)
What I want is to add any application I made a .desktop file for to that list. Is this possible somehow?

You might be better off opening a bug with the developer or creating a feature request.

The gtk application chooser used by the extension's settings used to exclude applications that do not support opening files, i.e. have no URI/file parameter in the Exec key of their .desktop file. This issue got fixed and the fix is included in gtk+ 3.22.25 and newer.

I switched to Arch and now have the latest version and it indeed shows every program in the list now. I wonder how long I will still have to wait until my Debian Laptop gets it...

Place the .desktop file in ~/.local/share/applications/. You should be able to find it in the application chooser for Auto Move Windows.

@piegames Go to~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/(if the extension is installed locally). Look for the folder associated to the extension and open it. Open themetadata.jsfile, the version should be written in it.

~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/ (if the extension is installed locally). Look for the folder associated to the extension and open it. Open the metadata.js file, the version should be written in it.– pomsky
