Option `--output \*` doesn't display on all displays when multiple monitors are connected (Sway) #68

In my Sway config, I run a script that includes the line tail -f /tmp/wobpipe | wob -O \* &

When I output to /tmp/wobpipe nothing is displayed on my two main monitors. For reference, I'm using a laptop with two external displays connected. The laptop display is disabled.

I have confirmed that the pipe does exist and is being written to.

I have fixed the issue by adding a sleep 1 to the beginning of my script. I believe that the issue might have something to do with the displays not being initialized when Sway first starts, and that's why sleeping for one second before starting wob fixes the issue.

I have recently committed this https://github.com/francma/wob/commit/17578b6cc8006224f9d9d658d3cc5a8be825faa5 which should improve the handling of connected outputs.

If the problem still persists, please attach the output of wob -vvv (verbose).
