Description Jan Matejek 2008-05-15 16:40:08 UTC
Compiz desktop effects are working fine, except that there is no "minimize" animation. Restore from minimize is animated properly.

I tried to set minimize animation manually in compizconfig, but that didn't work either.

Comment 2 Jigish Gohil 2008-05-15 17:02:03 UTC
Are you trying to set up from ccsm?
Comment 3 Jan Matejek 2008-05-15 17:10:35 UTC
both from ccsm and simple-ccsm, neither works.

sometimes the restore animation doesn't work either, but that's about 1 in 50 window restores. minimize is consistently failing.
Comment 4 Jigish Gohil 2008-05-15 17:13:19 UTC
Please change the animation time to more than default, it is sometimes just too fast for some cards.

Also try different minimize animations after enabling animation plugin.
Comment 5 Jan Matejek 2008-05-15 17:17:25 UTC
nope, doesn't help.
duration 4000 set from ccsm, tried different effects, still nothing.
(duration settings as well as all effects work fine for other events)
Comment 6 Jan Matejek 2008-05-15 17:21:23 UTC
oh, and disregard comment 3, restore works fine every time, only sometimes i think i'm restoring when i'm only bringing the window to front .e)
Comment 7 Jigish Gohil 2008-05-15 17:26:03 UTC
Let us start from scratch.

open terminal and run the following commands as normal user
rm -rf ~/.config/compiz
compiz-manager --replace&

Try minimize window, does it work?
Comment 8 Jan Matejek 2008-05-15 17:36:36 UTC
yes, it does.

but even now it works only for about half the effects, and from that, half seems to disregard the duration setting.
Comment 9 Jigish Gohil 2008-05-15 17:39:40 UTC
OK, so minimize effect is working fine using minimize plugin.

Other effects are disabled because animation plugin is disable.

Now try enabling animation plugin from ccsm and check minimize effect.
Comment 10 Jan Matejek 2008-05-16 10:00:41 UTC
it works fine now.

i guess it was some breakage in the old config from 10.3 ?
Comment 11 Jigish Gohil 2008-05-16 10:10:01 UTC
Yeah could be.
