i3expod shows only current desktop

Open danixland opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

Hello everyone, as the title states, i3expod shows only the current desktop, and I can't seem to make it display all other desktops which have windows in it.

I'm on slackware64-current, using i3 4.22 and i3expo-ng from sbopkg (version 20221012_b55a74b)

Can you help me fix this? Thanks in advance Here's a screenshot, I currently have a terminal window on desktop 3 and a text editor on terminal 2, but they won't show up.

Hi First you have to know the slackbuild is for stable. I haven't test it on current. Did you checked from command line if there's any error ? You have to go through every desktop after i3expod is launched for the screens to be captured. Anyway I bet a dependency is missing because you can't get even the desktop to be shown with black background. Or could it be their name have spaces or uncommon characters ?

Hi Tonus1, I went through all desktops and it still shows only the windows from the desktop I'm currently on. from the command line there's no errors after this command killall -s SIGUSR1 i3expod.

These are my desktop names as stated in i3 config:

set $ws1 "web"
set $ws2 "editor"
set $ws3 "console"
set $ws4 "ssh"
set $ws5 "graphic"
set $ws6 "editor2"
set $ws7 "chat"
set $ws8 "music"

I'm not using any weird characters.

As for the fact that I'm on current, all dependencies are met and the package builds correctly.

I don't know what else to look for. Any ideas?

Could you try to launch i3expod from cli ? (not the SIGUSR1 signal, the daemon)

Can you get the workspace informations with the command i3-save-tree --workspace=1 for the not shown worspaces ?

I am still running i3-gaps 4.21.1 for now. Will try the i3 merged version 4.22. In the meantime you could try reverting to it.
