Scratchpad with anytype does not open

[dantefromhell]

Ok, I suspect this is a case like emacs client, where the windows aren't matching the process pid...

🎉 Thanks so much, this was the issue indeed.
Anytype is electron based and the PID reported by hyprctl clients is a sub process/ thread of the PID logged by pyprland.

IMO it would be helpful if the class parameter was documented in the scratchpads wiki section.

From my side this issue can be marked resolved as the original question is resolved, I haven't re-tested the python stacktrace issues reported above though.

The same configuration, but using wezterm as the command works as expected and produces the following log files

If you don't set an animation, or don't make it lazy, does it have an impact?
If you are able to run the git version I would appreciate new logs...

[dantefromhell]

Thx for looking into this @fdev31. I hope the tests below help, I figured I better test all combinations of config options you recommended.

If you are able to run the git version I would appreciate new logs...
I can - this is based on pyprland@f4597f4 in a custom fork that has packaging for NixOS.

Config as in OP, minus the requested test-cases

	Lazy = Y	Lazy = N
Animation=Y	Test1	Test2
Animation=N	Test3	Test4

Test1
Pressing keyboard shortcut first time starts anytype TWICE, but does not display scratchpad.
Pressing keyboard shortcut again leads to a python stacktrace.
Log: https://gist.github.com/dantefromhell/890e5a604b550833c7d6a6ef2a1f75e9

Test2
Anytype is started automatically.
Pressing keyboard shortcut once/ repeatedly leads to a python stacktrace
Log: https://gist.github.com/dantefromhell/ebaba10bcb98dffea5bfe68e0f576109

Test3
Pressing keyboard shortcut first time starts anytype, but does not display scratchpad.
Pressing keyboard shortcut repeatedly does not show the scratchpad
Log: https://gist.github.com/dantefromhell/7740443bed6669b1cb9d1ea412d4c387

Test4
Anytype is started automatically.
Pressing keyboard shortcut leads to a python stacktrace but only for the show action, not the hide action.

Ok, I suspect this is a case like emacs client, where the windows aren't matching the process pid...

May you try https://github.com/hyprland-community/pyprland/wiki/Troubleshooting#disable-pid-tracking-eg-emacsclient after identifying the class of the window ?

If it's not working for you, can you, after trying to show anytype in a scratchpad:

• send me the pypr logs (use latest git, I added a couple of lines that may be useful)
• ps axuw (you can filter to show only the processes of interest)
• hyprctl clients -j

[fdev31]

Good point, I'll add it, I considered it a hack for very few software, but if it can avoid some troubles I'll make it more visible.
