[BUG] Flatpak apps not working as others are (scratchpads)

[haseebabid72]

Pyprland version
2.0 (latest)

Bug
Unable to get flatpak apps to run as scratchpads properly.
The app (in this case: Spotify) does launch but with the following errors:

1. The command terminated normally. is it already running?
2. Failed to show scratch "spotify"
   Also the app does not work as "Scratch", as the hide feature is not working here

Configuration

• pyprland.toml
  [scratchpads.spotify] command="flatpak run com.spotify.Client" class= "spotify" process_tracking= "false" class_match= "true" animation= "fromRight" lazy= "true" unfocus= "hide"
• hyprland.conf
  bind = $mainMod CTRL,s,exec,pypr toggle spotify $spotiify = ^(spotify)$ windowrule = size 75% 60%,$spotiify windowrule = move 50% -200%,$spotiify

[fdev31]

try with

process_tracking = false
class_match = true

process_tracking = "false" is considered true...

[haseebabid72]

try with

process_tracking = false
class_match = true

process_tracking = "false" is considered true...

It did work (ig) but my windows aren't floating (thunar and spotify)
Also the hide feature is still not working for spotify

[fdev31]

can you show the full pypr log and also verify those flatpak's apps class ? (output of hyprctl -j clients).

Also provide your full pyprland.toml, you mention things you didn't share...

try:

instead of

You may have a second read at your configuration, I see a few typos (eg: double letters)... in general, if values aren't exact, it will not work, some seem to be "on purpose" but still worth having a look ;)

Also to send the log, you need to send the file /tmp/pypr.log, here you just show a failed run of the daemon...

Spotify worked. And so did Thunar. Can you tell how it worked?

[fdev31]

Yes, the real class needs to "perfectly" match the "class" option in Hyprland.

[fdev31]

For Thunar you had the same typo in two places, so it matched :)
