Feature request: Option to not reshuffle applications.

[OlegOAndreev]

A useful addition to the extension would be an option to fix the locations of application icons in the dock and not shuffle them based on LRU order.

Sorry for writing only now, but could you explain what you mean?

When "Show running applications" is checked, running applications that are not in favorites are shown at the end of the dock. Those are sorted by last used application, so their position changes when you click through them. What I think @OlegOAndreev meant, is to have an option to keep the order of the applications fixed. I'd also find that useful.

I think commit [805fd6c] should have fixed this issue.

You're right. I was using the extensions.gnome.org version. I just installed the latest version from github and it works.

using latest commit e564630 on ubuntu 17.10
and noticing that my running application are in the order of when they are last used.
i see the code [805fd6c] for keeping the order static but it does not seem to be applied for me.
Is there something im missing here?

@andresmeidla : do you mean that the order changes during the session, i.e. that whenever you change the focus application this get positioned as the topmost running launcher (after the favorites)?

[andresmeidla]

Yes, and i mean the applications that are stacked together.

What do you mean by "stacked together"? Are we talking about the order of the launchers or the ordering of each application windows?

[andresmeidla]

I mean each application window.
Created some screenshots:
I have three gedit application windows: First, Second and Third.
What I would like is to have these application windows to always be ordered the way they were launched, like so: First, Second, Third

But after selecting for ex the third window, they are reorded to whichever window was selected the last:

My goal is to have the window order be always: First, Second, Third, so I could switch between them in a consistent manner, otherwise I'd have to read the application names every time im switching between the windows.
Can that be achieved somehow?
