Kitty reload takes several seconds

[mylinuxforwork]

Hi,

I have followed the setup of your kitty color template and I want to reload the colors of kitty after generating the color files.

But when I use your proposed command, the system doesn’t react for few seconds and the colors are not changing.

Any idea?

Hi, I'm experiencing the same issue. Have you found a solution for this?

[se735]

this is the solution i found: post_hook = "kill -SIGUSR1 $(pidof kitty)"

Then you will have to restart it (sended via email)

The only solution i found for reloading all kitty instances

[templates.kitty]
  input_path  = '~/.config/matugen/templates/kitty.template'
  output_path = '~/.config/kitty/themes/colors-matugen.conf'
  post_hook   = 'kitty +kitten themes --reload-in=all Colors-Matugen'
