Sorry english, this is hard to explain for me: I create a layout, I "open stuff" and I can see the layout gets populated from top right and clockwise. Okay. I create another layout, but then the order in which the "stuff I open" gets in the tiles seems different. So question, is there an option to decide which tile in a layout is 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.?

If there is not such a thing, I would love to have the option, so for example, when having 1 big tile and other small 2 tiles, so the first thing you open (ie firefox) gets into the big tile not the smaller ones. I hope it makes sense <3

Thanks for this cherry on top linux experience.

Hey thank you for opening this! Currently there is only one logic: auto tile from left to right. This means that a new opened window will be automatically tiled to the leftmost empty tile.

Currently it is not possible to change this behaviour from the settings. We can implement ANY behaviour we want and then allow choosing it from the settings

This sounds strange, it's not my experience at all. Currently using two side-by-side monitors, each one with three vertical tiles. Middle tile always gets filled in first; then right right, and finally left tile.

This doesn't happen on my system. The newly opened window is automatically tiled to the rightmost empty tile.
