Live thumbnails

Open Kommynct opened this issue 10 months ago • 5 comments

Since hyprland has single-window capture support, there should be a way to get live thumbnails, which would be quite nice

I don't know any way to obtain the currently rendered output of a window under Hyprland/Wayland

I was under the impression that single window capture with a restore token would be enough to enable this, sorry if that was incorrect

I don't know anything about capturing windows under Wayland. I always thought that you need explicit confirmation by the user for each window to capture it. Of course, it would be cool to display a live preview, but this should happen without the need for any user confirmation. @Kommynct if you have any ideas on how to achieve this, I would greatly appreciate your help.

Taking screenshots would be very complicated due to the issue of the HyprSwitch application overlaying, and in the screenshot, it would align with the overlaid app, for taking screenshots in Wayland, I use this libwayshot

I will leave this issue open, in case anyone has any ideas on how to approach/implement this
