How to find the widget id for specific widget?

[yuchen-lea]

Thanks for this great work! I'm trying to use apple script to control Uebersicht, refreshing all widgets works:

osascript -e 'tell application id "tracesOf.Uebersicht" to refresh' 

But refreshing widget with id doesn't. I guess I didn't get the correct id.

For example, I want to control this widget:

and it was located in …/Übersicht/widgets/particals.widget/index.js

I tried following, but none of them worked:

osascript -e 'tell application id "tracesOf.Uebersicht" to refresh widget id "particles"'
osascript -e 'tell application id "tracesOf.Uebersicht" to refresh widget id "particles-widget-index-js"'
osascript -e 'tell application id "tracesOf.Uebersicht" to refresh widget id "particles-js"'
osascript -e 'tell application id "tracesOf.Uebersicht" to refresh widget id "particles-index-js"'

Environments:

• Übersicht 1.6
• MacOS Ventura 13.3.1 on M1 Max

So close! Refresh is for all widgets, reload is for an individual widget.

osascript -e 'tell application id "tracesOf.Uebersicht" to reload widget id "particles-widget-index-js"'

@ajrosen Oh, thank you sooooooooo much! Maybe we could update the readme?

refresh widget id doesn't work for me, reload widget id works. But I'm not sure, since I've seen several cases in which people use refresh widget id Übersicht seems to hang / stop responding to osascript commands after waking from sleep · Issue #496 · felixhageloh/uebersicht refreshing specific widget ids only works with coffee files and not jsx ones · Issue #439 · felixhageloh/uebersicht
