which file? also, can you share the project?

askofep1 · April 20, 2025, 7:35pm

SnapPlus.xml download and drag the downloaded file into snap !

jens · April 20, 2025, 8:52pm

how can I reproduce the issue?

askofep1 · April 20, 2025, 8:55pm

drag the xml file into Snap ! and use firefox

sathvikrias · April 20, 2025, 8:58pm

probably part of the problem.

jens · April 20, 2025, 9:03pm

works fine for me (FF 137.0.2 on Mac)

askofep1 · April 20, 2025, 9:12pm

drag from downloads button on firefox

jens · April 20, 2025, 9:23pm

I did, it works fine.

askofep1 · April 20, 2025, 9:38pm

on linux with hyprland(try vm for this one)

okay, I don't know if this exchange is leading up to anything. Perhaps you can try to be a little bit more ... verbal about the issue you're encountering and how to reproduce it. I can open your project just fine in any of the many browsers installed on my laptop, and it does serialize just fine in all of them.

askofep1 · April 20, 2025, 9:42pm

it breaks when the os is gentoo and the desktop is hyprland

askofep1 · April 20, 2025, 9:45pm

this one : Microsoft OneDrive

askofep1 · April 20, 2025, 9:47pm

drag from the downloads popup that appears when you press the downloads button and, drag some blocks or edit text

Is there any errors when importing the project from the file menu? I'm wondering, because I've heard that drag and drop support on linux can be finicky and may not work all the time (though I've never tested, so I could be wrong).

askofep1 · April 20, 2025, 10:02pm

the file import works perfectly

ego-lay_atman-bay · April 20, 2025, 10:13pm

Then it's probably your OS and/or browser that is causing the error, not snap.

maybe next time when reporting a bug make sure it actually works on a stable system that isn't gentoo, because we probably almost 99% sure have different setups than you do. my arch system could operate completely different than your gentoo system because we have completely different packages. the outcome could be different because my desktop environment is different than your desktop environment, or my hyprland config could be different than your config.

also I heard hyprland isn't the most stable on gentoo yet, which might be the reason drag and drop isn't working

I can confirm the problem: Chrome@Win10
For me it seems that XML is somehow mallformed.
Steps to reproduce

Drop the SnapPlus.xml
"Export block definition..."
The block is exported as a primite override

XML
<primitives><block-definition 
s="%&apos;isLocal&apos; function %&apos;varname&apos; ( %&apos;inputs&apos; )"
type="hat" 
category="Snap! plus" 
selector="functionRunCustom"

Drop or > Import the block definition onto the FRESH Snap instance

Please report the outcome of described steps.

when I import it manually, it works fine
