so i have a folder with wallpapers in it, i would like to make enkei cycle through those wallpapers every 5-10 minutes. is this possible? and how?

The easiest solutions for this is to just create a wallpaper xml file with https://github.com/maoschanz/dynamic-wallpaper-editor.

With Dynamic Wallpaper Editor you can add a complete folder and set that all have the same duration.

Once done you can pick how long each image should show and how long the transition blending should last.

When you're done simply start enkei with the saved xml file:

$ enkei my_cool_wallpapers.xml

or change the wallpaper while enkei is running:

$ enkeictl my_cool_wallpapers.xml
