Description
This meta-issue track the status of different issues in Projecteur on wayland compositors.
-
Issues with taking screenshot: Projecteur takes screenshot in wayland using compositor specific DBus interfaces for Gnome and KDE (see https://github.com/jahnf/Projecteur/blob/develop/src/linuxdesktop.cc). However, this is not an universal solution for all wayland compositors and additionally these DBus interfaces (being non-standard) can be phased out/changed in the future. For example, Gnome removed their DBus interface in version 41+ (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1970, Cannot take screenshot on gnome 41 + wayland flameshot-org/flameshot#1910). Hence, it is better to use standard way of taking screenshots on wayland, i.e. through
xdg-desktop-portal. I have submitted a sample implementation in PR [WIP] Various Wayland Fixes #173 . However, taking screenshot withxdg-desktop-portalneeds user-intervention (not ideal for Projecteur use case). However, there is a bug report filed in this regard (Screenshot portal without prompt flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal#649). With that issue fixed in the future (hopefully), we can drop custom DBus interfaces and usexdg-desktop-portalbased screenshot approach primarily for wayland. Additionally, usingxdg-desktop-portalbased screenshot also has advantage, if we want to distribute flatpak, or AppImage in the future. -
Issue with overlay window placement: On Spotlight::spotActiveChanged event, Projecteur tries to bring up overlay window. However, the QWindow::setPosition do not work in wayland as per this blog post leading to wrong placement as suggested by some users in [BUG] Projecteur doesn't seem to work all that well on Gnome with Wayland on Fedora #170 . Additionally, other function used (like QWindow::showFullScreen and QWindow::raise) are also not supported on wayland.
