Feature Request: Linux app please #1

Open mohammadrafigh opened 7 years ago

mohammadrafigh commented 7 years ago

it would be great to have a Linux (at least Ubuntu) version of Splashify. since it's an electron app it would be easy to build one...

I've added AppImage and rpm packages to the latest release

Actually I've just realised that the module I'm using for setting the wallpaper doesn't have a linux version, so I'm afraid I've had to remove the linux builds as they won't work.

mohammadrafigh commented 7 years ago

Yes I tested, it just saves the picture in pictures folder. I may look into codes if you are ok

gilbitron commented 7 years ago

Please do. This is the module https://github.com/sindresorhus/wallpaper. It looks like it should support Linux, so not sure why it's not working. It's possible that the image processing library is failing https://github.com/oliver-moran/jimp. Will need to do some testing.

there is an open issue and a PR for that, it seems "wallpaper" module has some problems currently with some desktop environments like KDE, Gnome 2, Cinnamon... which desktop environment did you test with? I use Gnome 3 and no result... it seems we should wait for next release of "wallpaper".

I tested with Ubuntu. Will wait for the next release to see if a fix is included.
