[FR] Add Filter settings per Application/Window to disable the preview entirely

[MamaLilla2022]

What problem does this solve?

When using a VM or a RDP tool whose windows reaches down until the dock and trying to access the bottom part of this window e.g. a menubar or a dock its very easy to miss the end of the VM/RDP Window by a few pixel and activate the preview which then in turn hides the part i wanted to klick.

Proposed solution

It would be great to add an applicationname or window name to the filter view in settings that when is in focus disables the preview view from working.

Additional context (optional)

Here a small example when i try to click the teams icon inside my RDP window but just barely run over the window boundary the dock preview for bambu studio activates. So i'd like to add the RDP App to my suggested list and this would mean that the preview is disabled while the RDP App is in focus.

you can already hide specific apps from dock previews in Settings -> Filters -> Application Filters. if this doesnt cover your use case feel free to reopen with more details

you can also filter by window title in the same tab if you need more granular control

Hi @ejbills
thanks for the quick response but i can't reopen the issues seems i'm missing the rights.

The features mentioned by you do "the opposite" of what i need. They hide the preview for specific apps e.g. never show it for bambu studio. But i want to control if the preview appears when a specific window is in focus.

So if i have the "Windows App" in focus to remotely connect to another pc i want do disable the preview. Thats because of the menubar in the bottom of that window. BEcause interacting with the menu bar inside the app often leads to preview triggered and then i cant use the menubar anymore because the preview overlaps (See screenshots in the original post.).

But as soon as i have another app/window in focus i want to have the preview available again.
