System Notifications not working for "NSWindowDidMoveNotification"

[swalker326]

Maybe I misunderstand the use case but when I move a window, I would expect to see a log:

pub fn run() {
    tauri::Builder::default()
        .plugin(tauri_plugin_shell::init())
        .setup(|app| {
            #[cfg(all(desktop))]
            app.handle()
                .listen_workspace("NSWindowDidMoveNotification", |app_handle| {
                    println!("The window moved!");
                });
            Ok(())
        })
        .invoke_handler(tauri::generate_handler![greet])
        .run(tauri::generate_context!())
        .expect("error while running tauri application");
}

Are there some notifications this just doesn't work with?

Yes, you cannot use this notification as you're not the main actor.

See what the docs says:
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appkit/nswindowdidmovenotification

unlike NSWorkspaceActiveSpaceDidChangeNotification which the system posts this notification on an arbitrary actor.
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appkit/nsworkspaceactivespacedidchangenotification

To detect when a window moves, you can easily use the accessibility APIs. Another method is to get the list of windows on the screen every X seconds and compare their positions to identify changes.
