window thumbnails

Hello and thank you for this bug report,

What's your window manager (aka WM ; e.g. Compiz, Metacity, XFWM, KWin, etc.)? And which version of dock are you using (cairo-dock -v).
Can you launch the dock from a terminal and check if you've some warnings when you minimise a window?

I confirm that I've this bug with the latest version of Compiz but it worked before with Compiz 0.8

Thanks for the response.
My Window-Manager is Compiz 1:0.9.7.8,
whereas, the Cairo-Dock version is 3.0.2-1;
on Ubuntu 12.04.
And I am still suffering from this bug.
Regards.

@Fabounet: it seems it's no longer possible to have this feature... Should we remove it? Or we can maybe save a preview of all windows every minutes but it's maybe not so interesting :-/ Or we can enable this feature only if we click on the icon to minimise the window (in order to save the preview just before)...

If this feature is not possible to have than
kindly inform us weather there is any
dockbarx-like applet that could be integrated
into cairo-dock, as even that would solve our
problem.
Thank you.

Yes but you can also enable this compiz plugin: "Window Previews" (if it's still available)

I did enable this compiz-plugin,
but it only showcases the thumbnails
of already open windows and not the
minimized ones'. So the only option
we are left with is to integrate dockbarx-
like applet into cairo-dock. The pertinent
question is HOW ?
