Package: wayout Version: 0.1.4-1 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: ~mil/sxmo-de...@lists.sr.ht
I can't figure out how to use this program. The upstream README (which is actually not shipped with the Debian package) has a few examples: > Static example for a calendar: > > $ cal | wayout > > Example to use wayout as a simple digital clock using --feed-line: > > $ while; do date +%H:%M:%S; sleep 1; done | wayout --feed-line > > You can use the pango markup language for text markup and colours: > > $ echo "<b>bold</b>\n<span foreground=\"red\">red</span>" | wayout Yet those don't really work so well: 1. the first example just immediately exits and leaves no trace of a calendar in the output 2. the second example *does* work, but is buried under all the other windows, so it's actually pretty hard to tell it actually *did* work unless you know where to look for it 3. the third example fails for the same reason as the first (presumably?) It looks like wayout immediately exits when the pipe shuts down, and tears out its own widget alongside. For example, the first example, in verbose mode, says this: anarcat@angela:~$ cal | wayout --verbose [main] wayout: version=0.1.4 [main] w=320 h=240 font=Monospace 26 [main] Init Wayland. [output] Creating: global_name=44 [output] Configuring: global_name=44 [main] Starting loop. [main] Got end of input, exiting [main] Finish Wayland. [output] Destroying all outputs. Interestingly, using `--feed-line` with `cal` kind of works if you squint a little, except not really: it only outputs the last line of the calendar. So, how does one use this? My use case is to make a pop-up on a keybinding or a status bar button, for example to show a calendar or undertime(1) in an overlay.
