hyprpanel provided methods don't work

[GideonWolfe]

Describe the bug
When running hyprpanel <subcommand>, an error is thrown that hyprpanel is already running

To Reproduce

1. Be running hyprpanel (I start mine throguh hyprland config)
2. refer to docs example regarding getting running app ids

Expected behavior
A list of app IDs is returned

Screenshots

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• Distribution: NixOS 24.11
• Window Manager/Desktop Environment: Hyprland

Additional context
When running the command when hyprpanel isn't running, no output regarding appIDs is returned. Unless I'm misunderstanding how to use the command?

I was able to middle click the system tray icons to get the names, but now I have another issue... Most of the icons are just named chrome_status_icon_1, with no way to differentiate between apps.
electron/electron#40936

But the above issue is still present, it would be nice to be able to use the CLI commands to bind keypresses to opening menus.

Yes I'm experiencing the same...

You need to update your hyprpanel installation, this issue has already been solved it seems (it no longer tries to spawn a hyprpanel instance when executing subcommands)

That is unfortunately an issue with electron, not with hyprpanel.

Please provide more information (screenshots, what you are doing and what you are setting, etc), because, as I showed, I cannot reproduce the issue that was initially reported here

Your issue comes from not setting up hyprpanel as an overlay (if I am understanding this correctly, never used Nix)

This issue has nothing to do with the overlay, as the issue is present with the overlay present. Seems more likely to be a packaging issue.
