Google Meet PIP pop up not detected as a dialog

[pm0u]

Per the docs, windows that don't have minimize/maximize should be detected as dialog. I believe based on the debug output, these windows lack this (I assume AXEnabled: Optional(0)?)

For visual reference, this is the window in question. It shows up if you have an open meeting and navigate to a separate tab within the same window as the meeting.

windows that don't have minimize/maximize should be detected as dialog

Google chrome is excluded from the heuristic because if you drag a tab into a separate window, the window doesn't have the fullscreen button for a few firsts seconds

If you find a way to distinguish dragged tab vs Google meet popup, I will happily accept your PR

The pointer in the source code: shouldFloat function

Unfortunately swift is a bit outside of my area of expertise. I think it could be targeted based on title as the title format is slightly different than a standard chrome tab, let me see if that works.

[pm0u]

The following seems to work for me:

[[on-window-detected]]
if.app-id = 'com.google.Chrome'
if.window-title-regex-substring = '^about:blank - (?!Google Chrome).*$'
run = ['layout floating']

Standard chrome windows seem to be format {PAGE_TITLE} - Google Chrome - {PROFILE_NAME} while these seem to be format {PAGE_TITLE} - {PROFILE_NAME}, specifically page title is always about:blank so this regex excludes a standard tab / window that opens about:blank.
