Eyes glued to the screen; looking over, adding vertices, deleting some, I clicked the Render button and let the tiled windows orient themselves side-by-side and watch the frames tick from 0 to 1. Leaving my computer, I do something else because I have at least a hundred frames to render on my desktop. Except when I come back, the screen is slept. This isn’t a problem for me, I just un-sleep it and… THE WINDOWS ARE GONE.
Hyprland is love, Hyprland is life, yet when it sleeps I hate when it deletes all windows and I haven’t the technical background enough to know why. After trying a few more times because I can’t find the setting, like going through the terminal files and viewing code, I finally look at the top-right corner where the sidebar app is and click setttings, yet don’t see anything. It took a while before I realized that it’s a thing called Hypridle that doesn’t just tell you “sleep” but instead Timeout. So I input the highest numbers I can, until seeing the note saying “0 to deactivate”, that doesn’t make any sense to me, but anyhow I input 0 and wait to see if my screen stop sleeping.
Sure enough, my render completes within the hour without deleting windows, yay!
Note to myself: check other keywords that relate to sleep like “idle”, unless I want to make my own config like ML4W…
