03:08 <HamzaShahid> Hello again!

03:08 <hamza> I have solved my previous issue with stacktile and different scripts with keybindings to change layout type.

03:09 <HamzaShahid> Now I wanted to auto-spawn windows, however, I wanted them to be spawned with specific tags. I tried messing around with the tagmasks with riverctl but unfortunately was not able to get it working.

03:10 <hamza> sorry, s/windows/views/

03:10 <HamzaShahid> Could you kindly point me in the right direction? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

05:51 <tiosgz> HamzaShahid: the git version of river supports tag rules (see riverctl(1), section rules); last release was quite some code ago

05:51 <tiosgz> btw it doesn't matter if you say views or windows :) ...unless you mean that OS

06:13 <NickH> Quite a while since I looked at zig stacktile.

06:14 <NickH> A quick glance at the man page seems to indicate that it now has all (most?) of the features of the c version.

06:14 <NickH> Is that correct?

06:52 <HamzaShahid> tiosgz: Hahaha

06:52 <HamzaShahid> Okay, will download the git version

06:54 <HamzaShahid> NickH: Well, I didn't even know they had a C version, and I don't care much about zig anyway so I ended up downloading that version from git (of stacktile)

07:31 <HamzaShahid> Well tried a lot of stuff but the git downloaded version of river wouldn't allow many programs like dunst and emacs to launch

07:31 <HamzaShahid> I am on Void Linux btw, so it works with it's own package but is version 2.4.1

07:32 <HamzaShahid> so is there any proper docs on the tag things? Thanks for all the help

07:33 <HamzaShahid> Oops, didn't read your message properly

07:33 <HamzaShahid> will look at riverctl(1) Again.

07:36 <HamzaShahid> I currently have this (doesn't work):

07:36 <HamzaShahid> set-focused-tags 111111111; spawn-tagmask 000000001; emacsclient -c -a "" & spawn-tagmask 000000010; qutebrowser & spawn-tagmask 000000100; keepassxc &

07:39 <HamzaShahid> Also, do we HAVE to focus a window to do operations on it? Is there not any AppID or ViewID or smth?

07:45 <RZ_MJ[m]> Don't specify the tags in binary representation but in decimal representation.

07:46 <HamzaShahid> Oh

07:50 <NickH> HamzaShahid: sounds like you are using a rive version without xwayland and are trying to run x programs.

07:50 <NickH> Look at the exampple init file for how to address tags.

07:52 <HamzaShahid> Okay, will look at that again too

07:55 <HamzaShahid> Maybe I am dumb, but I can't seem to find anything new for my usecase. I understand tags and the bitmaps but how do I spawn a window and AUTOMATICALLY move it to another "workspace" or in this case attach a tag to it while spawning. The above with decimal instead of binary still doesn't work.

07:56 <HamzaShahid> I don't want to have to add a rule for all of those types of windows, and even if did as an alternative I don't know how to do that either except with maybe add-rule and class of the windows

07:58 <HamzaShahid> I could try and make sure the window is focused by using && instead of & or smth but my main problem is the window not having focus...

08:13 <NickH> AFAIK that feature does not exist.

08:14 <NickH> You may be able to work out a way to script it, but it would be clunky.

08:22 <HamzaShahid> Okay... so maybe I could check all open windows, and see if it exists, I keep looping until a View with the class of "emacs" opens, I can finally move it to another tag

08:22 <HamzaShahid> Also, on why it wasn't working: I didn't prepend riverctl on it my god how did I even miss it for that long...

08:28 <Guest23> Is Vgpu supported ? Using vgpu unlock on consumer cards
