[Feature] Support for wlr-screencopy-unstable #560

Closed tobyrg closed 3 months ago

tobyrg commented 3 months ago

Using Waycheck I can see there is zcosmic_screencopy_manager, is this related? I like to use grim for some scripts which needs the protocol.

We won't support wlr-screencopy-unstable, but are instead working on upstream protocols (ext-screencopy), which are meant to replace wlr-screencopy: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/-/merge_requests/124

cosmic-screencopy is related to that, as that basically is an unfinished namespaced version of ext-screencopy. But both are not 100% compatible with wlr-screencopy, so clients like grim will need to adjust to ext-screencopy once that is properly done and released. Until then these clients won't work without patches.
