Re: [dwm] Anyway to launch a program with specific tags?

a bit hackish solution but imho works:
add a setnextwindowtag flag and a nexttag

void
setnexttag(const char *arg){
    setnextwindowtag = True;
    nexttag = atoi(arg);
}

in tag.c modify settags()

if(matched)
    ...
else {
    if (setnextwindowtag) {
        setnextwindowtag = False;
        c->tags[nexttag] = True;
    } else {
    ...
}

now eg setnexttag("3") can be bind to Mod+x, so after you hit Mod+x
the next launched window will go on the 3rd tag.

it's a bit risky since other window can apear between Mod+x and the
launch, or sometimes one may want to tag more than one windows at once
(eg gimp), but this can be used as a simple workaround
