Add the ability to hide wallpapers #38

Closed NyanMaths closed 1 month ago

NyanMaths commented 3 months ago

Hello, The problem is simple : I would like the gui to hide all wallpapers whose name starts with a dot likewise all files managers and be able to toggle the visibility with a menu or ctrl+h. It could also be useful to have an option like "hide wallpaper" on right-click to add it to a hide-list without needing to make the filename start with a dot. ... I have no dubious wallpaper at all, what do you mean ? Thanks in advance for any answer.

Hi, thank you for the suggestion! Yes, it makes sense. I think I'll at least implement the show/hide the hidden wallpapers.

However, the hiding of certain wallpapers without actually making them hidden in the operating system would require a big overhead and a separate black list stored somewhere and the ability to remove images from there. I just don't think this niche feature is worth it. So I can only propose hiding certain wallpapers from the list just by renaming them with right click, i.e. they will become hidden in the operating system too, that is quite simple.

Hmmmmm, nice ! And I have to admit that the "hide" feature indeed was a bit overkill. Thank you again for this awesome software.

By the way, in the last version, the toggle for hidden images with . is implemented. For the hiding specific wallpapers I am still not sure, so I think for now that's it.

p.s. I couldn't figure out how to use ctr+h in GTK, so if someone knows, please share. p.p.s. Need to remember to implement hidden folders as well.

Hidden folders are implemented as well. So, I'll consider this issue close. Thank you again for bringing this up.

As late as it is, thank you for implementing ! I also searched the web about ctrl+h and did not find...
