Hi if possible move to temp location wallpaper.bmp, and keep only .jpg file on real output path location. file wallpaper.bmp, or delete after download files bing.

The wallpaper.bmp is not generated during downloading. It's actually required by Windows when setting a jpeg as wallpaper. I don't know how things are exactly going after win10 era, but per my experiments Windows doesn't support using jpeg files directly for wallpaper. That's why I use PIL to convert them to the wallpaper.bmp. You won't see it in Linux or download-only mode (remove the bmp then rerun with --setter=no).

move it to another directory might be a good solution, except for deciding which folder it belongs to... I really have no idea about this, after all pybingwallpaper is running across multiple platforms.

May I ask why you want to get rid of it? maybe we can come up with a quick solution for the expected results.

Thanks a lot for asking.
