Add option to pause the RPC server

Open voltrare opened this issue 2 years ago • 7 comments

It would nice to have a pause function for the "server app" as sometimes I need to exit the app to 'pause' rich presence

or pause from the extension as there isnt something like sytsray.pause in the systray package

What do you mean by pause? Pause the timer for the activity on discord? Freeze the status to be stuck? Temporarily disable the server? It'd really help if you elaborated on what "pause" means.

I think he wants to temporary stop the presences from showing. One way would be to just disable presences in the discord settings.

Or disabling the presence temporary in the popup image

But still dont get the use case. Could you elobabte on that.

Thats what I figured as well, if that's the case, then this should be marked as already implemented and closed

Im sorry for not eloborating,

image the feature im asking is to add an option to pause the server

i know you can temporarily pause a website by clicking

but this is too much hassle if i got many active extension, i just want to temporarily pause the server so that the rich presence wont be detecting any webpage im opening

i can do that by exiting the server but that means i always need to start it back everytime

so yeah i just want to temporarily disable the server as a whole

To be honest, this seems to be an issue with your organization of extensions and how your browser handles them rather than the fault of the extension, I believe a solution that would make more sense is if it was easier to launch the server. I do not believe that the extension is developed enough to make a second pause functionality necessary, for now I believe this issue should be put to sleep.

@voltrare to solve your issue though, I would recommend either reorganizing your extensions or relocating your server executable to an easier to locate position.

ah I understood, I guess adding a pause/suspend mode to the server.exe would be much logic in this case
