I also have a problem with unminimizing, though I just got Qminimize today and our errors seem to be different. If mine is unrelated, I can delete this comment.

I've also had issues since the last commit (449f265). I've been using the older version in the meantime. I'm confused why we all are getting different errors with the current version:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/alex/.local/bin/Qminimize", line 97, in <module> main() File "/home/alex/.local/bin/Qminimize", line 82, in main icons = parse_icons() File "/home/alex/.local/bin/Qminimize", line 39, in parse_icons config.read(file) File "/usr/lib/python3.10/configparser.py", line 698, in read self._read(fp, filename) File "/usr/lib/python3.10/configparser.py", line 1097, in _read raise DuplicateOptionError(sectname, optname, configparser.DuplicateOptionError: While reading from '/usr/share/applications/discord.desktop' [line 11]: option 'path' in section 'Desktop Entry' already exists

[mchisolm0]

@StarTroop, have you opened the discord.desktop file it mentions in the error? That looks like the first error I got, and the file had two 'path' entries at the bottom of the file. Not sure if this is right, but I deleted the duplicate line. Discord still runs fine and stopped getting the error when I try to minimize.

Now I only get the error when I try pulling up to unminimize.

[StarTroop]

@mchisolm0 I'd rather not edit the desktop file directly because it's managed by my distro (actually, on Arch it's a symlink to the real file in /opt/discord), but making a local file to overwrite it doesn't help I suppose because Qminimize is checking /usr/share/applications specifically.
To remove it as a variable, I uninstalled Discord. Now the current version of Qminimize seems to be working, though I think a reload of the Qtile config was necessary to solve some quirk with already-minimised windows.
Does Qminimize not work for you at all? As in, Rofi fails to launch? I'm noticing now that running Qminimize -u through the terminal will output an error message only if Qminimize is closed without unminimising any windows, but otherwise it's working properly. The messages are of course invisible when using a keybind, so I think my issue is essentially resolved and unrelated to OP. Maybe I should create a new issue to request that user desktop entries be parsed to override the system entries.
Edit: Actually, behaviour still seems to be a bit quirky. I need to do some testing after my next reboot, but it seems that a reload of the Qtile config is necessary after any window is minimised for it to appear in the Rofi menu, but it seems to be inconsistent, perhaps on a per-workspace basis.

@edenac I suggest giving details about your system such as your distribution and versions of the required python modules.

[edenac]

for sure @StarTroop , actually im working on this specification

• arcolinux - Kernel: 5.18.13-arch1-1
• Qtile
• WM: LG3D
• python 3.10.5

but yes as i thought, i think that the issue is due to a python update because it was working good but i updated my system and it doesnt work since that. (minimize is working but unminimize nope as @mchisolm0 say)
I usually handle my workflow with super + f for toggle maximize that i want to use (i suggest you try this btw) but im curiously about Qminimize when i realized that it doesnt work anymore D:

• my dotfile is on home/.config/qtile/config.py

this is my config for toggle maximize and unmaximize, it is to usefull and i recomendd it
Key([mod], "m", lazy.window.toggle_maximize(), desc="Toggle maximize"),

btw , when a i was looking for a solution i saw an old issue that dealt with the same thing, and they just said that was a known issue and they waited for the solution by qtile.
This is the issue 👇

• Cannot get it to work :( #1

thanks a lot for your help guys 😁

How have you installed python? If you install it from Arch repos, the libraries shouldn't be in ~/.local. I'm not an expert in python, but perhaps you should try installing python, python-fuzzywuzzy, and python-ewmh with pacman and see if you still have the error.

[mchisolm0]

@StarTroop I, too, only had trouble with the unminimize. I am on Manjaro Linux (not at computer atm, so can’t give more details). Hmmm…I expect I would have installed those with pip or pip3. I don’t think I checked to see if pacman could get them. When I get back on, I may see if that can solve it.
