Picking directly from terminal #171

Closed Kabouik closed 1 year ago

Kabouik commented 1 year ago

The demo shows pastel pick working directly from the terminal, but somehow when I try it it inevitably opens yad and I don't see any options to disable that, the help even states that an external color picker is required. Is it something that changed in updates since the demo was recorded, and is there a way to force picking from terminal?

Not really, no. That's also a "GUI" picker with a very minimal interface (just a cursor). Maybe grabc. See pastel pick --help for a list of supported tools.

Oh right, I see now. grabc is not available for my distribution but I'll look into packaging it one day maybe. Thank you and sorry for the noise.
