Please downgrade or add WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=1 environment variable to /etc/environment (or other places where environment variables are set) to turn off the use of DMABUF.

Pot provides a complete HTTP interface so that it can be called by other software. You can call pot by sending an HTTP request to 127.0.0.1:port , where port is the port number that pot listens to. The default is 60828 , which can be changed in the software settings.
POST " / " = > 翻译指定文本(body为需要翻译的文本),
GET " /config " = > 打开设置,
POST " /translate " = > 翻译指定文本(同" / " ),
GET " /selection_translate " = > 划词翻译,
GET " /input_translate " = > 输入翻译,
GET " /ocr_recognize " = > 截图OCR,
GET " /ocr_translate " = > 截图翻译,
GET " /ocr_recognize?screenshot=false " = > 截图OCR(不使用软件内截图),
GET " /ocr_translate?screenshot=false " = > 截图翻译(不使用软件内截图),
GET " /ocr_recognize?screenshot=true " = > 截图OCR,
GET " /ocr_translate?screenshot=true " = > 截图翻译,Call the word translation:
If you want to call pot word translation, you only need to send a request to 127.0.0.1:port .
For example, send a request through curl:
curl " 127.0.0.1:60828/selection_translate " This function allows you to call the screenshot OCR/screenshot translation function without using the screenshot in the software, so that you can use your favorite screenshot tool to take screenshots, and can also solve the problem of pot's own screenshots on some platforms. Unusable problem.
$CACHE/com.pot-app.desktop/pot_screenshot_cut.png127.0.0.1:port/ocr_recognize?screenshot=false to call successfully
$CACHEis the system cache directory, for example, on Windows it isC:Users{用户名}AppDataLocalcom.pot-app.desktoppot_screenshot_cut.png
Call Flameshot for screenshot OCR under Linux:
rm ~ /.cache/com.pot-app.desktop/pot_screenshot_cut.png && flameshot gui -s -p ~ /.cache/com.pot-app.desktop/pot_screenshot_cut.png && curl " 127.0.0.1:60828/ocr_recognize?screenshot=false " Starry is still under development, so you can only compile it manually.

Since major distributions have different levels of support for Wayland, pot itself cannot provide particularly perfect support. Here we can provide solutions to some common problems. After reasonable settings, pot can also run perfectly under Wayland.
Since Tauri's shortcut key scheme does not support Wayland, the shortcut key settings in the pot application cannot be used in Wayland. You can set up a system shortcut to send a request using curl to trigger pot. For details, see External Call
On some pure Wayland desktop environments/window managers (such as Hyprland), the built-in screenshots of pot cannot be used. In this case, you can use other screenshot tools instead. For details, see Not using in-software screenshots
The following is a configuration example under Hyprland (screenshot through grim and slurp):
bind = ALT, X, exec, grim -g "$(slurp)" ~/.cache/com.pot-app.desktop/pot_screenshot_cut.png && curl "127.0.0.1:60828/ocr_recognize?screenshot=false"
bind = ALT, C, exec, grim -g "$(slurp)" ~/.cache/com.pot-app.desktop/pot_screenshot_cut.png && curl "127.0.0.1:60828/ocr_translate?screenshot=false"
Other desktop environments/window managers have similar operations
Since pot currently cannot obtain the correct mouse coordinates under Wayland, the internal implementation cannot work. For some desktop environments/window managers, you can set window rules to enable the window to follow the mouse position. Here is Hyprland as an example:
windowrulev2 = float, class:(pot), title:(Translator|OCR|PopClip|Screenshot Translate) # Translation window floating
windowrulev2 = move cursor 0 0, class:(pot), title:(Translator|PopClip|Screenshot Translate) # Translation window follows the mouse position.
