Open new programs not as child of nnn?

[javeq1]

I really like how fast it is to browse directories with nnn and I would like to use it as my main file manager, but I have a small problem and I don't know if there is a configuration to solve it.
When using nnn if, for example, I open a pdf using enter then evince is started with the opened file. If then I close the terminal containing nnn evince is killed too. Is there a way to keep programs started by nnn opened when closing nnn?
Thank you for your work!

Can you try this? https://github.com/jarun/nnn#nnn-blocks-on-opening-files

I believe this would solve your problem. So closing the issue. If it's not working, feel free to reopen.

Also, just for the sake of reference, could you please leave a note on your OS and DE?

[javeq1]

I am already using that because I had the problem of nnn being blocked when opening a file. Now that problem is solved but there is still this strange problem I described you.
I am using Arch Linux with i3wm. I installed nnn using the aur package. Don't know if it is important but I am also using zsh as my shell instead of bash

That's strange because there is no special handling of pdf files. Is it only happening in case of evince or other GUI applications too?

I have tested on my system with evince, can't reproduce the issue. I ran with xfce4-terminal and terminator.

I'm afraid you'll have to try the following:

1. check out the latest code from master
2. check ps output to figure out which process is the parent of the evince process

I installed latest version using nnn-git from the aur and I still have the problem.
Using ps I found out that:

1. evince parent is "xdg-open";
2. "xdg-open" parent is nnn.

I am using terminator as a terminal, but I have the same problem with xfce4-terminal.
I also noticed that if I quit nnn without closing the terminal than evince is not killed, even if after that I close the terminal

OK. I guess you have to set the PPID to init. Can you please raise a PR?

[jarun]

I am working on this tonight. 👍

[jarun]

Can you please confirm if the patch on master fixes your issue?

[javeq1]

I confirm that it's solved! Thank you!
