Passing arguments to cmd in session config file. #66

Open atmughrabi opened 1 year ago

atmughrabi commented 1 year ago

Can we pass arguments to our session command, for example?

"cmd": [ "/usr/bin/tilix --session saved_session.json", "--gapplication-service" ],

This seems to have no effect.

Thank you!

{
    "cmd": [
        "/opt/microsoft/msedge/msedge"
    ],
    "desktop_file_id": "microsoft-edge.desktop",
    "desktop_file_id_full_path": "/usr/share/applications/microsoft-edge.desktop"
}

For the above session config, AWSM will use desktop_file_id instead of cmd. Unless desktop_file_id is empty, which indicates the app is window-backed and it does not have a .desktop file, AWSM will execute cmd to run the app.

You session config should have desktop_file_id, so AWSM won't execute cmd.
