Boomer captures the program launcher rofi #71

Closed jappeace closed 4 years ago

I didn't expect rofi (app launcher) to be part of the screenshot:

bug

rexim commented 4 years ago

It's probably happening because the launcher doesn't die immediately after starting the application. Possible solutions:

  1. Add an optional delay to the boomer
  2. Make boomer wait for some kind of event (for example, key press)

@jappeace hey! We introduced a delay flag in #94. Please let me know if it works for you?

jappeace commented 4 years ago

Hi @rexim, I tested it out, unfortunately I don't think it works in rofi, it does work in the terminal. But I bound it to a key in i3 and now everything works perfectly. You don't have to fix this for me at least.

@jappeace what version of rofi do you use btw?

jappeace commented 4 years ago

1.5.4

When I tried boomer with the delay from rofi it just wouldn't start. In any case I suspect the bug is because of the compositor (compton) having a fade-out effect.

What was the command line you typed into rofi?

try launching it not from a combi mode, but plain run mode.

jappeace commented 4 years ago

@SolitudeSF yeah that works, but why?

SolitudeSF commented 4 years ago

combi cant know what mode the text you enter belongs to unless it strictly matches, so it does nothing instead.

@jappeace if your problem is resolved, please close this issue.
