[BUG] Scratchpads and file managers (Nemo, Nautilus)

[fdev31]

Haha, thanks for the heads-up, in the "hurry" I forgot to push :p
Just pushed it on the main branch!

[gvolpe]

It works! 🥳 Thanks for the quick workaround 🙏🏽

[fdev31]

I'll keep it open some time to collect issues with this, I expect some tiny visual defects on start (mainly if you are not enabling lazy), you may also try to not skip "aspect", the workspace is the most important here.
Some feedback would be great after you use it for some time.

[fdev31]

Check 2.2.19, should work without any complication in the config. Re-open in case of trouble of course :)

[fdev31]

Can you try the latest version? Better multi window support have been implemented...

[fdev31]

I also recommend that you have a dedicated file manager for the scratchpad..if you play with many windows moving them in different workspaces or screens etc you may run into trouble.

Thanks for the quick response! Will try this evening when I get back home and report back.

Can you elaborate? Do you mean using either Nemo or Nautilus?

I mean using one only as a scratchpad, if you plan multi windowing etc use a second one

Sorry, don't understand 😄 Do you mean a second scratchpad with different config?

I tried 2.2.16, same issue even with multi = false. Is there a particular configuration I should use for multi-window support?

[fdev31]

Hm, I was hoping this one would help with the default values (multi enabled by default).
It should keep track of every window... that's not the case ?
(eg: if you "hide", every window should hide)
If that's not working, you may consider using match_by option (eg: match_by="class").

I don't think I'll have time for it today, but I'm a nemo user, so I'll try to have a look at its behavior under a scratchpad.

[fdev31]

Ok, I understand what's going on... will make a patch to make some processing optional, are you able to use the git version to provide some feedback when I do so?

[fdev31]

If you can run the latest git version, try such config as a base:

[scratchpads.filemanager]
animation = "fromBottom"
command = "nemo"
class = "nemo"
size = "60% 60%"
skip_windowrules = ["aspect", "workspace"]

I'll need to introduce this new parameter and document things in the troubleshooting section. I also added a tiny fix for "multi" which was needed for your use case.

[gvolpe]

Sure! Should I try the latest commit from main or a branch? Last commit was yesterday it seems

[fdev31]

PS: you need to restart Hyprland for this patch to apply, since it's about rules set into hyprland... and they need to be cleared.

[fdev31]

Ok, looks like there are no remaining problems? Can I close this issue?
