Implements session persistance for Hyprland. While the program is running it periodicly saves the command, workspace and other properties of running clients found by hyprctl clients. These are then saved to a file formatted as a Hyprland config file which can then be sourced so that the session is restored when Hyprland is restarted.
As root run the command
cargo install --root /usr/local hyprsession
Or install as a user by replacing /usr/local with your home directory. Then add the following line to your Hyprland config file (Usually at ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf)
exec_once = hyprsession
If you want to save a session that is already running then run
hyprsession --mode save-only &
or
hyprsession --mode save-and-exit
Various options can be used to modify the behavior of Hyprsession.
Sets the mode the program runs in
- Default - Loads the session at startup the saves the current session at regular intervals.
- SaveOnly - As above but skips loading the session
- LoadAndExit - Load the saved session then immediatly exit
- SaveAndExit - Save the current session then exit
This sets the interval in seconds between session saves. The default is 60 seconds.
This allows the user to save the session config in an alternative directory, by default its ~/.local/share/hyprsession.
- Create and use a rules file for alternative handling of applications (i.e. do not reload, ignore parameters, additional parameters etc).
- Handle application that create windows in forked processes by creating temporary window rules.
- Changed --session-path option to point at base directory of session file
- Fixed bug which would crash program if no session file existed
- Fix fatal bug on Hyprland 0.4 that crashed the program while saving the session
