Provide A Way to Exclude Certain Apps

[akefirad]

If doesn't exist yet, is it possible to add a way to exclude/ignore certain applications. For example Scoot has two hidden windows that show up in the list.

Currently not supported.
I record this as a feature suggestion.

LMK if you need a hand. (Disclaimer; I'm new to Lua, so not sure how much I can do 🙂)

If we want to remove some windows, we will have to change it here.

HotSwitch-HS/lib/model/WindowModel.lua

Lines 85 to 116 in b8ccd97

	obj.removeInvalidWindows = function(orderedWindows)
	local cleanedOrderedWindows = {}
	for i = 1, #orderedWindows do
	local window = orderedWindows[i]
	-- local role = window:role()
	local subrole = window:subrole()
	-- local id = window:id()
	-- local isVisible = window:isVisible()
	-- local isStandard = window:isStandard()
	-- Debugger.log(window:application():name() .. " | " .. role ..
	-- " : " ..
	-- subrole ..
	-- " | " .. id .. " | " .. tostring(isVisible) .. " | " .. tostring(isStandard) .. " | " .. tabCount)
	if subrole ~= "AXUnknown" and subrole ~= "AXSystemDialog" and subrole ~= "" then
	table.insert(cleanedOrderedWindows, window)
	-- not work
	-- local applicationName = window:application():name()
	-- if applicationName == "Finder" then
	-- local tabCount = window:tabCount()
	-- Debugger.log(applicationName .. " | " .. tabCount)
	-- table.insert(cleanedOrderedWindows, window)
	-- if tabCount > 0 then
	-- table.insert(cleanedOrderedWindows, window)
	-- end
	-- else
	-- table.insert(cleanedOrderedWindows, window)
	-- end
	end
	end
	return cleanedOrderedWindows
	end

It may be possible to exclude it generically by checking subrole, etc.
If possible, I believe generic exclusion is a better approach.
