open thunar with class "Thunar" in the background, then try to use command
"i3get --class 'Thunar$' --print d" to get thunar windowid, but get nothing. is this a bug about regular expression?

Thanks for reporting this!

Yeah, regex search was not enabled for class, instance and some other properties.


I see you run Arch btw
I have stopped maintaining the i3ass AUR packages, because AUR/Arch community sucks . I have planned selfhosting my own repo, but till then you better build from source. i3ass-git should also work fine to get the bleeding edge version. Just a heads up.
