hm. moving the contents of the line to riverctl spawn "..." worked.
<ghostbuster>
so tags are unique per output? ie. the windows that I've tagged as tag 1 on monitor 1 are not related to which windows i've tagged with tag 1 on monitor 2?
<ghostbuster>
oh i guess each window has a tag and an output, so if you move it to the other output the tag continues

ghostbuster: I think that's correct, based on my experience
<ghostbuster>
yeah i'm getting the hang of it
<ghostbuster>
i can see it being quite powerful once you get your workflow dialed in
<ghostbuster>
having a bit of flakiness with changing resolutions on my multi-monitor setup but i've had issues with sway as well so I am not convinced it's an issue with river
<n8_>
ghostbuster: the other day on here, someone recommended me to use kanshi, which i think could also helo with the resolution problem
<ghostbuster>
i've tried it before on sway
<n8_>
no luck?
<ghostbuster>
it's a cool project but it didn't resolve all the issues
<ghostbuster>
i think part of my issue is that my laptop gpu can't drive 2x 4K displays _and_ the builtin laptop screen simultaneously
<ghostbuster>
when i start river, even if the lid is closed, it seems to initialize eDP-1 and either DP-1 or DP-2 but what I need is for it to either initialize all three and mark eDP-1 as disabled, or not initialize it at all
<ghostbuster>
what fixes it is manually disabling eDP-1 and then power cycling whichever monitor didn't get recognized
<n8_>
i had a very similar issue. I used kanshi to set the laptop screen to not turn on if my monitor is plugged in
<n8_>
viz. you can have it do what you described: only initialize DP-1 and DP-2
<ghostbuster>
i will try it again, but judging from logs it already fails to initialize one of the two external displays before the river init is called, so I'm not sure when I would launch kanshi
<n8_>
i have `kanshi &` as the first line of my river init
