hi, i am trying to make variety support hyprpaper but i don't want to only make it support only hyprland so i can't use hyprctl.

When using socat it seem hyprpaper's preload function can't found the wallpaper but can when using it with the exact same argument with hyprctl hyprpaper, i even made a bash script so i am sure i don't do any error. here the simple bash script:

WP=/home/cylian91/.config/variety/wp/burningflag.jpg
hyprctl hyprpaper preload $WP
sleep 10 # wait just in case
echo             "preload $WP" | socat - UNIX-CONNECT:/tmp/hypr/$HYPRLAND_INSTANCE_SIGNATURE/.hyprpaper.sock

the script return 

ok
preload failed (no such file)

it look like socat add these at the end:

[LOG] char 57: 32
[LOG] char 58: 92
[LOG] char 59: 110
[LOG] char 60: 10

might be an issue with socat then no?

If you don't wanna use hyprctl, why not connect to the socket via normal, plain old C, or whatever programming language you use?

yes its an issue wit socat and not hyprland, the issue can be closed
