[BUG] pyprland web apps

[AtnProjects]

Steps to reproduce the problem:

[scratchpads.gpt] animation = "fromTop" command = "brave --profile-directory=Default --app=https://chat.openai.com/" class = "brave-chat.openai.com__-Default" size = "75% 60%" process_tracking = false

Open Brave. Run the command pypr toggle chatgpt. Notice that the scratchpad opens, but not at the 75% width and 60% height size as specified. Additional Information:

Linux distribution: Arch Linux Desktop environment: Hyprland I have tried restarting Pyprland and checking the window class, but the problem persists.

I would appreciate any help in solving this problem

I can't reproduce the problem, which version are you using?

EDIT: If you didn't restart Hyprland for a while and played with many different configs, it could be worth restarting it since it keeps tracks of some styles which have been set (after ensuring there is no conflicting rule in the Hyprland config).

[AtnProjects]

pypr version 2.2.14

[fdev31]

Did you try match_by="class"? Did you get it working with previous pyprland versions?

It's disappointing, I'm also having brave installed & using Archlinux...

[fdev31]

Try providing your complete Hyprland & Pyprland config, I'll run with your own config.

[fdev31]

You can also try to do match_by="initialClass" and providing initialClass="same as your class"

I have changed the process tracking to a lazy one and I solved it, windows no longer open out of nowhere when starting Hyprland. Also, the only way I found is to use a browser only for web apps because if I open it I still have the same error

Additional Information

• Linux distribution: Arch Linux
• Desktop environment: Hyprland
• pypr version:2.2.15-5

lazy is turned off when you disable process tracking, so here you are just not disabling the process tracking anymore.

Did you try using match_by="class" with the current configuration to see if it improves something ?

A webbrowser is often "one app" with a complex process management, so using it as a standalone app requires some trick, but with class matching and no process handling you can achieve it. Use a different profile than the default eventually... maybe that helps ? (if so, please tell me so I'll update the wiki)

If you want it easy, you should use a different webbrowser for the scratchpad...

[AtnProjects]

[scratchpads.gpt] animation = "fromTop" command = "brave --profile-directory=Default --app=https://chat.openai.com/" match_by = "brave-chat.openai.com__-Default" size = "75% 60%" process_tracking = false

[fdev31]

tldr: replace "match_by" with "class"

match_by="class" class="brave-chat.openai.com__-Default"

but the "match_by" should be automatic when you disable process tracking... so just defining class should work.

[AtnProjects]

[scratchpads.gpta] animation = "fromTop" command = "brave --profile-directory=Default --app=https://chat.openai.com" class="brave-chat.openai.com__-Default" match_by="class" size = "75% 60%"

the same continuous error

[fdev31]

[scratchpads.gpta] animation = "fromTop" command = "brave --profile-directory=Default --app=https://chat.openai.com" class="brave-chat.openai.com__-Default" match_by="class" size = "75% 60%"

the same continuous error

Why did you remove the process tracking line?

[AtnProjects]

Sorry I was wrong, I put it again but it still produces the size error

[fdev31]

Using this configuration it works perfectly for me:

[scratchpads.gpta]
animation = "fromTop"
command = "brave --profile-directory=Default --app=https://chat.openai.com"
class="brave-chat.openai.com__-Default"
size = "75% 60%"
lazy = true
process_tracking = false

If it doesn't for you, send the pypr logs after a clean restart of Hyprland, using this exact configuration.

By the way, did you try to change the profile directory (& class) to see if this had an impact ?

EDIT: removed match_by="class" because it's automatic in that case

[fdev31]

What pyprland is doing is setting windowrule = size 75% 60%,^(class)$ which you can manually add to Hyprland.conf and try to understand why it's not working for you.

The only limitation you should face when you have no process tracking is that you can't close the window, it will mess up everything, you need to always hide it "properly"...

[AtnProjects]

With the lazy configuration it worked correctly but when I tried yours it did not apply the sizes to me

[fdev31]

Ok, then I provided you all the information to understand the issue on your system. If the windowrules are working in Hyprland.conf when you set them manually and only via pypr they don't work, then open a bug for this including the full log file. Hope it helped!
