Disable When Screencasting

[fuguesoft]

I was looking at the docs for disabling the notifications in certain scenarios but couldn't quite figure out how it worked.

It looks like those lines go in $CONFIG/xdg-desktop-portal-wlr is that accurate?
Is there a way to disable notifications when a certain app is running, say wf-recorder?

If so, how does do?

Thank you

you can test and edit in /usr/share/xdg-desktop-portal/wlr-portals.conf

I appreciate the response! I'll mess around and report back any findings

Alright it's been a minute but I have some findings/a workaround:

I'm using swaync for notifications and wf-recorder for screen recording. So after reading some docs, I wrote this script and referenced it in my sway/config:

#!/bin/bash
filelocation=/home/fugue/Vídeos/Grabas/oh-snap-`date +%Y-%m-%d_%T`.mp4
recording=$(pgrep wf-recorder -c)
if [ $recording -ge 1 ]; then
  killall -q -s SIGINT wf-recorder
  swaync-client -df 
else
  wf-recorder -g "$(slurp)" -f $filelocation -x yuv420p
  swaync-client -dn 
fi

It just pgreps any instance of wf-recorder and sends the appropriate dnd message to swaync
I haven't set anything up with OBS yet but I might be able to do something similar.
