I am trying to use devour with mpv on hersbstuftwm, but the termial just fades out and then fades back in again. I know the script works because it works with emacs.
$("$@") > /dev/null 2>&1
doesn't recognize shell aliases how about this?
SHELL=$(awk -F: -v user=$USER '$1 == user {print $NF}' /etc/passwd)
echo "$@" | $SHELL -i
While using this program, I realized devour cannot handle arguments with spaces that are usually handled. zathura "File Space.pdf" works in the command line, but devour zathura "File Space.pdf" does not, same with devour zathura File\ Space.pdf. You can combine the two, doing devour zathura "File\ Space.pdf", but that's a bit tedious. So using some google-fu I found a way to open files with a space.
Hi, @salman-abedin sorry to bother you again but devour has the same issue I previously had, this time it is with filenames that have parentheses in them.
mpvd is an alias for devour mpv

Manjaro KDE and Pop OS gnome3 using devour on mpv swallows my entire screen and all windows. I open the logout menu and that will get swallowed too. Any window I open will immediately get swallowed.
What I am typing:
devour mpv /path/to/vid works totally fine, but if I use a bash alias alias mpv='devour mpv' and then devour mpv /path/to/vid then all windows get swallowed.
If I open gimp from terminal then it works fine with devour gimp but if I launch gimp from an alias of alias gimp='devour gimp'
So there seems to be a problem when it comes to launching from a bash alias. I can replicate the problem with any program so long as I do it from an alias. Manually typing devour [program name] works everytime, but goes wrong every time from an alias
I was using devour fine until today when I installed it again with the new code changes and the problems began as described.
When I run devour, a new zsh instance is started. By itself this isn't much of a problem, but when running devour in lf, it exits and outputs. zsh: suspended (tty output) lf This also happens in bash. The terminal emulator that im using is alacritty. Thanks!
if I type devour brave-browser, it keeps open a terminal window.
Devour does not work when I used a terminal embedded inside Suckless tabbed ( https://tools.suckless.org/tabbed/ ). In that case the win variable was set to the terminal window instead of the tabbed window. I added a simple check to detect this and select parent of win (tabbed).
Before there was a set max on the number of arguments that could be passed into devour (1024 characters). I made it so it would dynamically allocate more memory to handle larger amounts of arguments.
When devouring respect if opening application was full screen
Fixes the wildcard problem described in #20. New function that returns the number of characters in argv is added. This function is used to determine the size of cmd.
Added support for all the unsafe characters
Devour is smart now. No more safe vs unsafe files.
Rewritten in C
Added support files with spaces in alias mode
