This is my second “I feel like a complete idiot” question of the week, so thank you for your patience.
How does one find an app-id, e.g., for setting up window rules in my window manager (River)? For example, if I’m using Nautilus as a file manager and I wanted to have the Nautilus Previewer window float by defining a River WM rule, I can do every bit of that trivially, other than identifying the app-id. (In this case, I believe it’s org.gnome.NautilusPreviewer, but I’m looking for a general case.) Please note this question is about Wayland and not X.
I dropped into GNOME and viewed active windows with Looking Glass (lg), but that seems like a silly workflow just to ID a window.
I think https://git.sr.ht/~leon_plickat/lswt may work.
That does, indeed, help. And I got to the 3rd page of google/kagi results without seeing any hint of it. Thank you so much.
Can you provide a little more info? I cant even see how to install this from the provided link, nor what it does.
The repository has Makefile so you can build the executable with
make:$ cd /tmp $ git clone https://git.sr.ht/~leon_plickat/lswt $ cd lswt $ make $ ./lswt $ sudo make install (optional)Okay but I am not going to make something where I have to read the sourcecode in order to get any info. Thanks anyway.
