Thank you for the report, sadly fractional scale factors don't work currently in multibg-sway.
Version 0.1.5 dealt with integer scale factors but fractional scale factors remain to be solved.
I know swaybg can do it correctly (and maybe (?) even wpaperd has code for it with the same rust library that is used here), so...
Please give me week for this, I'll try to get fractional scaling done here too
Thanks very much. I'm very grateful for any help you can offer. Please let me know if i can help in any way.

I'm sorry for the time this took. It should be fixed now in version 0.1.6 that I just released.
If if you are still interested please test it
Ooh, I am very interested. I'm travelling at the moment, but when I get home I am looking forward to testing your latest version. Thanks so much!
I'm sorry to say i'm not having much luck with that build. swaymsg -t get_outputs
gives...

When I run...
$ /home/jdownie/.cargo/bin/multibg-sway /home/jdownie/Nextcloud/Pictures/multibg-sway/
Nothing happens, well nothing that I can observe. I know nothing about Rust, so maybe there's an environment variable that I can set to give you more details on what's happening on my end.
I'm running Fedora 39 Sway Atomic BTW.
Thanks again for your effort on this. I'm happy to help if you're still keen.

Yes, run it with environment variable RUST_BACKTRACE=1
and RUST_LOG=trace
set please. Does it just hang forever without a crash?
Cool, thanks...

That looks normal, the same that I see.
So... If you start it like this and try switching between the ~desktops~ sway workspaces you should keep getting the Setting wallpaper on output 'eDP-1' for workspace: XXX
logs, but nothing happens? The background just stays the default gray?
Nope, i see what you're referring to...

I do have a wallpaper set in my sway config. Could that be superseding your app?
Actually, I just noticed this...
[2024-03-28T22:31:29Z DEBUG multibg_sway::wayland] Ignoring configure for already configured layer on output: eDP-1, new surface size 1920x1080
I'll comment out my wallpaper config and reload.
I had this in my config...
output * bg "/home/jdownie/Nextcloud/Pictures/multibg-sway/eDP-1/1.png" fill
...but i've commented that out and reloaded. I'm still getting this output...

Your app is displaying 1.jpg
, but isn't switching to 2.jpg
when I jump to workspace 2 (for example).
I hate to ask this, but all the 1.jpg ... 5.jpg that you attached here before in eDP-1.zip are the same picture as I can see. Are you sure about them?
This is my _wallpaperdir, test it please too: wallpaper.zip
Also $ pkill swaybg
and verify that swaybg
is not running (eg. not being restarted in a loop by some Fedora desktop config I don't know about).
Sway silently allows multiple background layers which get randomly ordered and occlude each other if they are. There must be no other wallpaper app running than 1 instance of multibg-sway
You were right. My files were no good. So far i've just been testing on my laptop display alone. I'll let you know how I go when I get back to my dock and external display. Thanks for your patience.
It's working perfectly! Thanks so much for all of your help.
My host
yancy
is a laptop that I often connect to a dock which has a higher resolution display on it. To cater for this I have this in my main sway config file......and I then have this in
~/.config/sway/config.yancy
...The output of
swaymsg -t get_outputs
...Initially I had my images scaled to 2160 pixels high, but when I observed this...
I resized them to 3024 high ( 2160 * 1.4) in an attempt to compensate.
These are the files that i'm currently using.
That background behind the multibg_sway smaller image is from this line in my main config file...
Can you think of any workaround that I could try ?
