I am disappointed to see this removed intentionally. I used this feature all
the time to resize windows for different usecases. I'll provide one of the
critical examples I use it for. I'm a podcaster on Destination Linux and during
preparation we have individual windows for each camera. I resize the windows to
1080p so that I can capture them via OBS. This feature made it very easy and
simple to make sure I always had it at the right sizing and positioning for
capture. The first episode we recorded after I updated to 5.24 actually sent me
into a panic because I didnt have time to figure out what happened. Luckily I
already knew how to workaround this with wmctrl so I did that and have been
doing so ever since.
I decided to see if there was a bug report to add my need to today and see that
it was intentionally removed without warning. I don't know how I would be able
to be warned as I am not sure there is a change advisory thing but that would
be very helpful as a side note.
I now see that wmctrl does not work on Wayland so this feature being removed in
KWin and my workaround only works in X means this will eventually create a
bigger problem for me later.
Note: this is not the only reason I use this feature, this was also great for a
lot of other reasons and was a great way to show people why KWin was awesome
because everyone has different reasons to find this helpful.
