Cannot save session

See original GitHub issue

👻 Brief Description

Saving session with som applications fails

🥞 Action version

lwsm save SESSION_NAME

Steps To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Open lots of apps (Tilix, Nautilus, Gedit perhaps the culprits)
  2. lwsm save SESSION_NAME

🚓 Expected behavior

Session should be saved and later restored by lwsm restore SESSON_NAME

➕ Additional context

Pop!_OS 20.04, 20.10 Kernel 5.8, 5.11

Here’s the stdout from a save after I removed the re-throw of the exception (so that it would proceed with save and throw all exceptions):

lwsm save common-energy
lwsm 4.0.5 --> save Tue Jul 06 2021 10:18:06 GMT-0400 (Eastern Daylight Time)

@johannesjo it would be a separate PR, but I have added this mapping to my config file for user installed flatpak Chromium: "chromium-browser.Chromium-browser": "org.chromium.Chromium.desktop"

Thanks. How you can work around this is to manually provide a mapping for gedit in the main config file under ~/.config/lwsm/config.json. There under the key WM_CLASS_AND_EXECUTABLE_FILE_MAP you should add "gedit.Gedit": "org.gnome.gedit.desktop",.
