The Program

QuickTile is primarily the work of Stephan Sokolow, however, it has received various contributions over the years.

Thanks go out to the following people:

David Stygstra

Generalized the move-to-center command into the move-to-* family of commands.

Fábio C. Barrionuevo da Luz

Fixed some permissioning warts in the install procedure.

Fritz Reichwald

Added Gtk.init_check in quicktile.__main__ to work around a bug in some builds of GTK as well as a gi.require_version that is only necessary on some systems.

Gui Ambros

Identified the solution for a misalignment that occurs on HiDPI screens.

Gustavo J A M Carneiro and Filip Van Raemdonck

Created the gtkexcepthook module in the form I started from.

Justin

Added the horizontal-maximize, vertical-maximize, and move-to-center commands.

Matthias Putz

Fixed use of an uninitialized variable in a difficult-to-trigger failure case.

Max Weiß

  • Added the KEYLOOKUP dict to compensate for un-intuitive omissions for the symbol names of common keys.

  • Reworked the shebang to address the period when some Linux distros lacked a python2 binary while others linked python to Python 3.

Oliver Gerlich

Corrected an omission on the list of dependencies for CentOS 7 and possibly other Red Hat-family distros.

Stéphane Gourichon

  • Researched how to create .deb packages

  • Wrote recompile_local_debian_package.sh

  • Set up the necessary package metadata for building a .deb.

Stuart Axelbrooke

Corrected a flaw in the window-tiling heuristics which prevented them from functioning correctly on especially large monitors.

Thomas Vander Stichele

Helped to clean up the API documentation during the ePyDoc era.

Valdis Vitolins

Added an omitted dependency on python-setuptools to README.rst

Valentin Agachi

Corrected window-layout calculations to use round() for pixel values.

Yuting/Tim Xiao

Made the window-tiling heuristics more robust.
