Persistent workspaces not shown in overview

[tobias-haenel]

Empty but persistent workspaces are currently not shown any more in the overview. This was the case in prior versions (before the lua config move). Can this be reenabled, maybe via a flag? Or is this a bug?

For reference:
my workspace rules

hl.workspace_rule({ workspace = "1", persistent = true, default_name = "NW" })
hl.workspace_rule({ workspace = "2", persistent = true, default_name = "N" })
hl.workspace_rule({ workspace = "3", persistent = true, default_name = "NE" })
hl.workspace_rule({ workspace = "4", persistent = true, default_name = "W" })
hl.workspace_rule({ workspace = "5", persistent = true, monitor = "DP-1", default = true, default_name = "M" })
hl.workspace_rule({ workspace = "6", persistent = true, default_name = "E" })
hl.workspace_rule({ workspace = "7", persistent = true, default_name = "SW" })
hl.workspace_rule({ workspace = "8", persistent = true, default_name = "S" })
hl.workspace_rule({ workspace = "9", persistent = true, default_name = "SE" })

my config:

// Edit with `hyprshell config edit`
(
    version: 4,
    windows: (
        scale: 7.0,
        items_per_row: 3,
        overview: (
            launcher: (
                default_terminal: "wezterm",
                launch_modifier: "ctrl",
                width: 1000,
                max_items: 4,
                show_when_empty: true,
                plugins: (
                    applications: (

                        show_execs: true,
                        show_actions_submenu: true,
                    ),
                    terminal: None,
                    shell: None,
                    websearch: None,
                    calc: None,
                    path: (),
                    actions: None,
                ),
            ),
            key: "Up",
            top_offset: 430,
            modifier: "super",
            filter_by: [],
            exclude_workspaces: "",
        ),
        switch: None,
        switch_2: None,
    ),
)

I use the output of hyprctl workspaces -j. I display all the monitors and workspaces that have active clients (clients that passed the specified filters (like same monitor, same class, etc.)).

Maybe we could add a display empty workspaces option to the overview.

That solution would definitely work for me. It would be nice if you have some time to add that "back" in.
