capture active window changes
Closed this issue · 3 comments
Original report by Anonymous.
wishlist:
Since every few seconds (arbtt-capture parameter "-r" for "rate", default: 60) the active window is captured, it would be a huge benefit (like other digital wellbeing apps do this) to inform the user about how many times for example the email program was started or re-opened, i.e. active window was not thunderbird before but was thunderbird afterwards to be precise (aim: once per day)
Or is there a built-in possibility with arbtt-stats?

Hmm, that would require that rules could look at the next or previous sample? I vaguely remember that I originally structured the code to allow that, but based on the documentation, I never exposed that (and I might have removed that support now).
My gut feeling is that’s its a relative obscure use-case that doesn’t go well with a low-frequency sampling (e.g. once per minute). Maybe best solved by a separate tool that looks at the JSON output?

arbtt-dump shows that this data has been captured (marked with asterisk* next to row)
Closing, not sure if this is an actionable issue.
