Develop - Having NeoTree open makes SPC w = (equalize windows) a noop

[synic]

SPC w = normally equalizes your window sizes. However, if you have NeoTree open, SPC w = does nothing.

Neotree locks its windows size on purpose, you can use tab to expand it temporarily.

I don't care if NeoTree resizes, but it should probably still resize the other windows.

This should be a feature request for neotree: https://github.com/jaypei/emacs-neotree.

I think you guys are misunderstanding the issue. This is not a neotree thing, I don't think the neotree author has any control over what SPC w = does.

SPC w = doesn't resize any windows when neotree is open. I don't want it to equalize the neotree window - but it should equalize the other windows.

I was able to reproduce the problem in stock Emacs, so if it's not Neotree's issue, I don't know what. Reported upstream: jaypei/emacs-neotree#132

[TheBB]

I haven't gotten any response from the neotree maintainer for a month now. For those interested I recommend you nag @jaypei on jaypei/emacs-neotree#132.

Hi TheBB,

The implementation of balance-windows is horizontal balance and vertical balance,
the trigger condition of these is the "window--resize-apply-p" function return t.
By default, NeoTree window width is locked by using window-size-fixed, so the horizontal balance is ignored.

I will solve this issue ASAP.

Cool, thanks! 👍
