<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Dear Jean-Pierre,<br>
<br>
in order to keep track on what happens with your patch, best open
a bug for it on <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://bugzilla.xfce.org/">https://bugzilla.xfce.org/</a> and attach your patch.<br>
<br>
Regarding the fix, just from reading your mail:<br>
I would use one enum with 8 values instead of three booleans. If a
setting can be expressed as a single value, I would do so .. makes
handling simpler and does not raise the number of settings to
much.<br>
<br>
Thanks alot for your contribution !<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

Dear Xfce team members,
<br>
<br>
You'll find attached a small patch that gives some additional
flexibility when
<br>
handling icons with xfdesktop.
<br>
<br>
Actually - very long ago - my wife had a Mac and was used having
new files /
<br>
new directories / new devices being shown on the right edge of the
screen,
<br>
as she likes having a dock on the left side. This may "conflict"
<br>
with icons appearing very close to the dock, on the top left
corner of the
<br>
screen. Unless I am mistaken, with the current xfdesktop-4.12.4
version,
<br>
icons appear from top to bottom and from left to right (in this
order of
<br>
precedence), and there is no way to change the default behaviour -
of
<br>
course, one can always drag icons with the mouse to assign their
position
<br>
elsewhere on the desktop, but I believe this should part of the
configuration
<br>
options. The enclosed very small patch allows this : it adds three
new
<br>
booleans to be managed by xfconf, gravity-horizontal,
gravity-upwards,
<br>
gravity-to-left that change the default behaviour of icon
placement
<br>
(thus, in 8 different ways in total). At least, one can now use
<br>
xfce4-settings-editor to adjust the options (one might want to let
<br>
the options appear as well in the xfce4-settings-manager >
Desktop > Icons
<br>
but this will require further additions.)
<br>
<br>
The patch is for xfdesktop-4.12.4 which is what I run, I guess it
would be
<br>
very easy to port to 4.13/4.14 as well.
<br>
<br>
Best,
<br>
Jean-Pierre Demailly
