Is there any way to have these persisted, or checked when the configuration is reloaded and then started again if needed? I've noticed that any of the applications which are started by i3, but not making use of the tray area are unaffected, as you'd expect.Wed, 02 Jul 2014 23:31:09 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/4102/restart-inplace-kills-tray-applications-started-by-i3/Comment by Michael for <p>When I perform an inplace restart of i3, usually to take advantage of new configuration, or occasionally because of an upgrade to a new version of i3, any applications which run in the tray area of i3bar die.</p> <p>Is there any way to have these persisted, or checked when the configuration is reloaded and then started again if needed?</p> <p>I've noticed that any of the applications which are started by i3, but not making use of the tray area are unaffected, as you'd expect.</p> https://faq.i3wm.org/question/4102/restart-inplace-kills-tray-applications-started-by-i3/?comment=4188#comment-4188This is a bug, see https://github.com/i3/i3/issues/1296Wed, 09 Jul 2014 21:07:35 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/4102/restart-inplace-kills-tray-applications-started-by-i3/?comment=4188#comment-4188Comment by weltenwort for <p>When I perform an inplace restart of i3, usually to take advantage of new configuration, or occasionally because of an upgrade to a new version of i3, any applications which run in the tray area of i3bar die.</p> <p>Is there any way to have these persisted, or checked when the configuration is reloaded and then started again if needed?</p> <p>I've noticed that any of the applications which are started by i3, but not making use of the tray area are unaffected, as you'd expect.</p> https://faq.i3wm.org/question/4102/restart-inplace-kills-tray-applications-started-by-i3/?comment=4175#comment-4175I can confirm this. For me it's happening on one machine but not on others (running the same i3 version and the same config files).
