New Window Settings

A Cinnamon extension to configure newly opened windows based on the new windows Application. Currently it only allow you to remember the "Always on Top" and "Only on This Workspace" settings for each application and re-apply those settings when new instances of the application is opened.

Requirements

This extension requires Cinnamon 5.4 or better. I have done very limited testing on older (pre 6.4) releases.
