gnome-shell-extension-workspace-switcher-popup-thumbnails's Issues

Does not appear to work in gnome-shell 3.30.1

In gnome-shell 3.30.1, when using this extension, I get a tiny grey box instead of workspace previews, and then gnome-shell restarts.

Gnome-shell log says:

Oct 31 15:44:30 bilbo-Precision-5520 gnome-shell[21070]: Some code accessed the property 'ThumbnailsBox' on the module 'thumbnailsBox'. That property was defined with 'let' or 'const' inside the module. This was previously supported, but is not correct according to the ES6 standard. Any symbols to be exported from a module must be defined with 'var'. The property access will work as previously for the time being, but please fix your code anyway.

Does not work for me on Ubuntu 18.10 with GNOME Shell 3.28.3. Neither the thumbnail, nor the default animation is shown. This is the error output:

Doesn't work with older Gnome Shell versions

This extension would be useful to me but I'm still using Gnome 2.22. Any chance of adding that version?

Gnome 3.32 compatibility

Any chance to make this nice extension compatible with latest gnome 3.32?
Currently, this error occurred when extension starts:

Extension "[email protected]" had error: Error: Type name Gjs_ThumbnailsBox is already registered

Thanks

Not working with Workspace Grid

Description

The extension does not work when Workspace Grid is enabled.

How to reproduce

Install gnome-tweak-tool
Install the Workspace Grid extension
Set workspace creation to static in gnome-tweak-tool > Workspaces > Workspace Creation
Change the number of workspaces to 4 in gnome-tweak-tool > Workspaces > Number of Workspaces
Activate Workspace Grid in gnome-tweak-tool > Extensions and configure a 2x2 grid
Activate this extension

Expected Behavior

Workspaces thumbnails in the workspace switcher (which is centered on the screen).

Actual Behavior

The switcher changes back to an all vertical display and is placed in the screen top left corner. Besides, the switcher freezes and gnome-shell has to be restarted to remove it from the screen.

increase the size of the thumbnails

Is it possible to increase the size of the thumbnails?
maybe with settings like 2x, 3x, 4x? thx

Plugin does not work well with "Workspace grid"

I wanted to use both this plugin and "Workspace grid", in order to have a 3x3 grid with preview. However, when I enable both and try to switch workspaces, previews are shown in a 9x1 vertical array, and the switcher is stuck (I can't close it, need to restart gnome).

It seems there is some kind of incompatibility because workspace-switcher-popup-thumbnails expects an array of workspaces, and not a grid.

Shows blank space instead of contents of other monitors

When gnome-shell is configured to have workspaces spanning monitors, the extension correctly shows the space that the extra monitors take up, but does not show previews of the windows on those monitors, just empty space. For example, here is a screenshot of three monitors, with the switcher preview only showing the primary monitor (the top left one):

I'm on Arch Linux with gnome-shell 3.32.

Gnome 3.34

Don't work with Gnome 3.34 in my ArchLinux laptop
