sry, for the spam, I'm still learning bash. I was fixing the custom area selection.

anyway I think this should be ready for review

[fufexan]

Do I need a specific version of grim? I have 1.5.0. I've tried this and grim is killed

› grimblast/grimblast --notify copy area
grim -t png -T 1800000f -
xargs: grim: terminated by signal 11

[zspher]

ok, thats wierd. I'm also using grim 1.5.0 w/ hyprland 0.55.1.

can you check if grim -T $(hyprctl -j activewindow | jq -r .stableId) works?
also can you pull the latest branch (sry, for the multiple force-push)?

[fufexan]

Sorry for the late reply

› grim -T $(hyprctl -j activewindow | jq -r .stableId)
zsh: segmentation fault (core dumped)  grim -T $(hyprctl -j activewindow | jq -r .stableId)

[zspher]

hi,
best I can tell is this might be an issue with hyprland screenshare and I don't know how to fix that
tho you may want to look at hyprwm/Hyprland#14123 for how to diagnose

works fine on my end. been using it with window switcher preview. using hyprland-git and latest grim from arch.

trying to stretch it out of bounds. Also integrated it on my dots. seems non is broken.
