qtile open directory using the default file browser
CommandSet creates a small menu with buttons; a lot of things that previously were CLI aliases fit there much better:
lazy.run_extension(
CommandSet(
commands={
"single small": "autorandr single_small",
"single": "autorandr single",
"home": "autorandr home",
"R night": redshift_night,
"R reset": redshift_reset,
"T disable": touchpad_disable,
"T enable": touchpad_enable,
"Screenshots": open_screenshots,
},
)
),
“Open directory with screenshots” made everything freze, qtile couldn’t be restarted, the usual.
The command I used was
open_screenshots = f"bash -c 'xdg-open {dirs.SCREENSHOT_R}''"
On a hunch, added the & to detach the process.
open_screenshots = f"bash -c 'xdg-open {dirs.SCREENSHOT_R} &'"
Works like magic, the window appears, everything else keeps working.
Nel mezzo del deserto posso dire tutto quello che voglio.
