Should Gracefully quit if user denies Discord permissions #316

Closed RenzoAPM closed 7 months ago

RenzoAPM commented 10 months ago

Steps to Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Install
  2. Authenticate Streamkit Overlay
  3. Uninstall

Expected behavior Discord overlay will no longer appear when joining a voice channel.

Problematic behavior It still appears when joining a voice channel. Also, if you add the step:

  1. Deauthenticate Streamkit Overlay Streamkit Overlay will continue to repeatedly ask for authentication every few seconds.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

Installation Method

Solution

  1. Open System Monitor or Terminal
  2. End Discover_Overlay process

Additional comment I am mainly creating this issue to help anyone having issues uninstalling Discover_Overlay. It would also be nice if the discover overlay process did not continue after it is uninstalled. Maybe there is a way it can check if the ~/Discover folder exists. Maybe the steps to uninstall could be added to the README.md, even though it is simple.

As with everything else in linux-based systems, Uninstalling a program does not stop any running instances.

As you discovered, you could use a task manager to close the process, or close it out from the config window before uninstalling it.

As for repeatedly asking for authentication, we probably could do with a system to not ask again if explicitly denied. It simply wasn't a needed feature before.

The major issue with checking ~/ files is that they will not be deleted on uninstall either

Thanks for the hasty reply. You mentioned the config window, but I'm not sure where to find this. I tried running the command discover-overlay --configure but the discover-overlay command is not recognized. Would you like me to create a separate issue? Feel free to close this one whenever you feel like it.

Well assuming you haven't reinstalled it, it's uninstalled so a new instance can't be started.

If it is installed, it's where ever your package manager put it. I don't know whoever is doing the Debian packages so I can't check to see how it works.

Either way it should be listed in your app launcher if it's installed.

I figured it out. It's listed as a separate app (Discover Overlay Configuration) which can be found in my app menu. You may close this issue, or leave it open until you fix the repeating authentication requests for Streamkit Overlay. It's up to you. Thank you for your help.

I'll rebrand it, it still has purpose!
