On hyprland using "Show in directory" freezes uosc until opened file manager window is closed

[peppercucumber]

So recently I installed Hyprland and using script-binding uosc/show-in-directory opens file manger window (Dolphin in my case) and it works as intended, but uosc freezes and stays frozen until I close that file manager window. Video and audio plays file, but all UI is not responsive. After closing window it unfreezes. Before I used KDE Plasma and had no problems with this.

After some investigation I found that in main.lua bind_command('show-in-directory', function() uses utils.subprocess for linux, while for windows and mac it uses utils.subprocess_detached. It seems not detaching subprocess makes uosc script freeze while window is opened. Maybe Hyprland handles this differently? Anyway, changing to utils.subprocess_detached for both linux and fallback option using xdg-open fixed this issue.

I would suggest changing this to utils.subprocess_detached, unless there is a reason not to use it.

Correction: changing utils.subprocess_detached only for xdg-open fixes this issue. If both changed, issue remains.

This is what works:

bind_command('show-in-directory', function()
	-- Ignore URLs
	if not state.path or is_protocol(state.path) then return end

	if state.platform == 'windows' then
		utils.subprocess_detached({args = {'explorer', '/select,', state.path .. ' '}, cancellable = false})
	elseif state.platform == 'darwin' then
		utils.subprocess_detached({args = {'open', '-R', state.path}, cancellable = false})
	elseif state.platform == 'linux' then
		local result = utils.subprocess({args = {'nautilus', state.path}, cancellable = false})

		-- Fallback opens the folder with xdg-open instead
		if result.status ~= 0 then
			utils.subprocess_detached({args = {'xdg-open', serialize_path(state.path).dirname}, cancellable = false})
		end
	end
