Doesn't seem to work on macOS

[douira]

Hi, you stated that you'd be open to people trying this out in macOS. I tried installing it with setup.py and it didn't work. Running it with pyinstaller_wrapper.py yielded a NameError. Could you give hints as to how this project is even supposed to be run on macOS? The documentation doesn't really go into detail beyond dependencies that need to be installed. Thanks

[hhannine]

Thanks for trying to test it. I haven't been able to acquire a Mac just for this purpose so I have not been able to test and package superpaper for macOS.

If you would post the errors you get I could try to help resolve them?

[hhannine]

And yes you were on the right track, you can either install superpaper with pip in the root directory by running pip install --user .

Or alternator run it with python python pyinstaller_wrapper.py

[douira]

python3 setup.py install works but then superpaper is not a command for me.

This is that python3 pyinstaller_wrapper.py:

[hhannine]

Thanks. Looks like the script is running with the wrapper and a recent windows code change is causing the error.

It's not immediately clear what the problem is with the install.

[hhannine]

It looks like it is installed but the installation location is not in your path variable The script superpaper is installed in '/Users/douira/Library/Python/3.9/bin' which is not on PATH. That is why it is not recognized as a command but the binary executable should be in the directory stated above.

[douira]

I've added it to my PATH. How it finds the command but spits out the following error:

Thanks. I have now resolved the NameError and the changes are in the master branch now.

[douira]

Ok thanks! I did a git pull and ran python3 pyinstaller_wrapper.py which yielded the following output after opening a dialog "Detection of the diagonal size of a display has failed. It will show up as a 23 inch display [etc]" which I answered with "OK":

[hhannine]

Ah unfortunately it is trying to run the hotkey code but the library has no support for MacOS. Did it create a general_settings file already in the /dev/superpaper folder? If it did, open it and modify it to have use hotkeys=false Then try run it again.

[hhannine]

How did it go, did it work?

[douira]

I changed the setting and it does launch now. Here's a list of issues I've experienced so far:

• [x] Setting custom bevel distances doesn't work. Pressing a number key makes the dialog disappear.
• [ ] The "home" folder in the wallpaper source selection dialog doesn't contain anything
• [x] The wallpaper source selection dialog starts off too narrow such that not all of the buttons are visible
• [ ] At some points, it freezes and clicking anywhere doesn't work and and error sound is played.
• [x] (Error related to resizing the folder dialog seems to be fixed. The error 213:216: execution error: Can’t get end. (-1728) is printed.)
• [ ] There is an error if images are within subfolders of an added wallpaper source folder (and not only at the top level)
• [x] Applying an image only applies it to the main screen (and not the other ones)
• [x] The image that is applied as the wallpaper sometimes (idk when) has cuts in it (like being composed of multiple images)
• [ ] Clicking apply doesn't seem to always update the desktop image
• [ ] It's not clear how to use folders of images. It seems to be picking a random image from the folder every time I click apply.
• [x] "Align test" turns the curser into a watch and then doesn't do anything (but the curser stays a watch)
• [ ] When using a folder, the image displayed in the program is not the same as the image applied as the desktop image.
• [ ] Loading a profile that contains paths not present on the system results in an IndexError in the console.
• [ ] The program doesn't quit if Cmd+Q is pressed. (Is this the thing that had to be disabled?)
• [x] Is it possible to adjust the positions of the screens without creating gaps that are added onto the manually entered bevels?
• [x] Is there an option to align all screens to touch at their bevels (but not overlap)?
• [x] If there is a .DS_Store image in the profiles folder, it will fail to load that file as a profile. .DS_Store files are hidden files generated by Finder automatically and should be ignored.
• [ ] The bevels get larger (around 2x but not by a whole number) when I save, quit and then load a profile. (this also happened in the posted log)
• [x] Upon startup a profile is selected in the dropdown menu but isn't loaded until I click the menu again.

Screenshot of what the wallpaper looks like on the desktop:

The too narrow dialog:

In general, this application seems very promising and comprehensive! I'm excited to get it to properly work on macOS. I can help test it on my system. (though not really debug it as I'm not well versed in Python)

[hhannine]

Thanks a lot! These are going to take some work so while I am going through these, would you mind writing some instructions for other Mac users how you installed all the dependencies and got it running?

[hhannine]

Another thing I might need help with is figuring out how to address the multiple displays via scripting / terminal commands to set the finished wallpaper programmatically. After quick searching I could not find an answer that distinguishes between single and multiple displays in a way that would allow targeting a correct piece of the image to the correct display. Any clues or testing towards a solution for this would be greatly appreciated.

[hhannine]

I found this:

MacOS 10.9 (or later): Do you use multiple displays and multiple desktops? Do you also want to span panoramic images over multiple displays?
Then disable System Preferences → Mission Control → Displays have separate Spaces. This ensures that a desktop switch, affects all displays rather than just the active one, thereby keeping the panorama desktop in one piece.  

Could you try to change that to see if superpaper can then affect the wallpaper of all your displays?

[douira]

Just checked, I had that setting enabled already.

[hhannine]

The guidance is to disable that setting? Did you have it enabled or disabled?

[douira]

Oh you’re right, I misread that. I’ll try it the other way around later.

[hhannine]

I've pushed an update (e7cd550) which hopefully fixes the bezel config boxes disappearing when you were trying to input sizes. Let me know if it worked if you get an opportunity to test it.

[hhannine]

This AppleScript could enable the 'display spaces' setting to be controlled automatically.

[hhannine]

• The wallpaper source selection dialog starts off too narrow such that not all of the buttons are visible
• At some points, it freezes and clicking anywhere doesn't work and and error sound is played. This seems to be related to resizing the folder dialog. The error 213:216: execution error: Can’t get end. (-1728) is printed.

I pushed a fix that hopefully addresses these. If you find that the freezing is not fixed, can you post more output that you get? Possibly while running in the debugging mode in the terminal?

[douira]

I tested it with the separate spaces setting disabled and it didn't change anything in the behavior. (I logged out first to apply the setting properly)

The following error is produced when I click align test

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/douira/Documents/dev/superpaper/superpaper/gui.py", line 1244, in onAlignTest
    profile = CLIProfileData(testimage,
TypeError: __init__() takes from 2 to 6 positional arguments but 7 were given

[douira]

The bevel configuration works well now with the latest commit. The file selection dialog is also the right width.

As an addendum to the last comment: With the setting enabled and disabled the same thing happens, the image set to the main screen changes to something weird like this (see screenshot) but the other two screens don't change.

Searching for a multi-screen wallpaper app I also found Fresco before finding this one. Your app has much more features but Fresco does manage to set the wallpaper on all screens. (With the enabled and disabled) Maybe that's something to look into? The website states that the setting (displays have separate spaces) should be disabled, but Fresco also worked with it enabled for me.

I've added an item to the list that would be nice to have:

• Is there an option to align all screens to touch at their bevels (but not overlap)?

[hhannine]

Thanks for testing. I've pushed a fix for the align test issue.

I have been looking for a solution how to control the wallpapers of all the displays but no solid answer thus far unfortunately.

• Is there an option to align all screens to touch at their bevels (but not overlap)?

I've wished for this myself as well at some points, but I've not had the skills or motivation to make it well enough. If the gap is made small enough in the preview, the effect on the wallpaper on the actual displays will be minuscule and in practice overshadowed by the measurement errors.

Actually, this can be done manually with the "Exact positions" tool. It allows for changing the input to pixels which enables you to tune the display positions in pixel-by-pixel precision.

[douira]

Maybe that could be implemented with some kind of snapping? When a screen is dragged close to another one it could snap to exactly touch the other one. (There should of course also be an option to disable this, either with a setting or by holding a key)

As for the other issue with controlling all the screen’s wallpapers, maybe a workaround would be to export an image for each screen that the user can then manually set as the background for each screen? I don’t know anything about how desktop images work internally, so I can’t really help from a technical perspective.

[hhannine]

Yes I thought about some type of snapping implementation but it seemed too daunting to get working well and not worth the time investment, at the time at least. Maybe it will be implemented at some point.

I've seen script snippets like these: https://stackoverflow.com/a/66089467 where the image is set individually piece by piece for each display. This is not a problem in of itself since other platforms use similar behavior, and as you saw Superpaper already is working with stitched together image pieces. The problem seems to be how to figure out what are each of the displays called and how to get positionally sorted list of the displays as recognized by the operating system in order to connect the correct image piece with the correct display.

[hhannine]

Finally found some clues that might be helpful: https://github.com/scriptingosx/desktoppr - wallpaper tool for OSX that supports multiple monitors written in Swift https://pypi.org/project/macos-display/ - Python tool and example for interfacing with OSX for NSScreen

[hhannine]

I completely rewrote the OSX wallpaper code (e0cbb412ba5fa188d05921719b3b72c723a64971), can you test if it works?

Edit: Note the two new OSX dependencies: AppKit PyObjC, both of which should be installable with pip.

[douira]

After installing the two new dependencies the following error occurs on starting the program:

I had also tried to start the program before installing the dependencies (before I saw your edit) and a different error was produced:

[hhannine]

Thanks a lot. I pushed a fix for the latter error. And it seems that I mistakenly included the 'AppKit' as a separate dependecy, as it seems to be a separate package after all. So remove the 'AppKit' module that you just installed.

[hhannine]

Whoops sorry forgot to actually push.. Now the commit is online.

[douira]

I've tested it. After removing it, the error is now the following (it seems it can't find AppKit)

[hhannine]

It seems that pyobjc needs a cleanup after the incorrect package is removed: I found this to do that: pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall PyObjC PyObjC-core

[douira]

Oh thanks that works! It actually starts now and is capable of setting the wallpaper image on all three screens, even with the "displays are separate spaces" setting enabled. However, the center screen's wallpaper is glitched (but less so than before):

the layout:

the applied center wallpaper:

The other two match what the layout says they should.

[hhannine]

Great! Thanks!

Does the center wallpaper get cut off the same way regardless of the image used or every time? If it does, can you run superpaper in the terminal with debugging and post the logging you get?

[douira]

Ok so I've tested it again and now this glitch doesn't happen. I can't reproduce it right now.

I've found out how to reproduce the issue where it freezes and makes an error sound: When I click "cancel" in the browse file dialog it closes but then the main window hangs and only beeps when I click it.

[hhannine]

Great!

I can't simply reproduce it on Windows, can you tell me your specific steps to reproduce it?

[douira]

• I open the program.
• Click "Browse".
• Click "Cancel".
• The dialog closes. The main window remains unresponsive and beeps.

[hhannine]

Thansks. Weird, those steps are not producing any issues on Windows. Can you post the debugging log whilst running in the terminal?

It doesn't print anything between clicking "browse" and when I had to force quit it so it may not be very useful.

I've noticed some other issues: (added to the list)

• If there is a .DS_Store image in the profiles folder, it will fail to load that file as a profile. .DS_Store files are hidden files generated by Finder automatically and should be ignored.
• The bevels get larger (around 2x but not by a whole number) when I save, quit and then load a profile. (this also happened in the posted log)
• Upon startup a profile is selected in the dropdown menu but isn't loaded until I click the menu again.

Hi I'm back. I just pulled the most recent changes and am running into the following error when running pip3 install --user .:

Processing /Users/douira/Documents/dev/superpaper
  Preparing metadata (setup.py) ... error
  error: subprocess-exited-with-error

  × python setup.py egg_info did not run successfully.
  │ exit code: 1
  ╰─> [1 lines of output]
      wxPython import failed; refer to the install instructions.
      [end of output]

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
error: metadata-generation-failed

× Encountered error while generating package metadata.
╰─> See above for output.

note: This is an issue with the package mentioned above, not pip.
hint: See above for details.

I've also tried to run pip3 install --upgrade Pillow screeninfo numpy wxpython PyObjC beforehand but that fails because wx is missing. It installs the other packages successfully though. However, running python3 ./pyinstaller_wrapper.py fails because of missing wx.

Hi! I wonder if your python has updated and is causing an issue when trying to install wxpython with pip? Do you get an error when trying to install wxpython? Can you try a previous version of python to see if that helps?

[hhannine]

Do you have 'attrdict3' installed? Here's some related discussion https://github.com/wxWidgets/Phoenix/issues/2296

[douira]

Do you have 'attrdict3' installed? Here's some related discussion wxWidgets/Phoenix#2296

Ok after installing that transitive dependency myself it compiled wxpython for really long but now it's working again. Thanks!

[hhannine]

Can you check if in the current git version the bezel config popups work for you? I had to make a change to make them work on my Linux system, and now they do work both on Linux and Windows. I'm hoping that Mac would as well, because it'll need a more complex fix if it doesn't..

[douira]

It works (I'm assuming this is what you mean) but the input field for the number is too small.

[hhannine]

Thanks! I pushed a change to possibly fix it, how does it look now?

[douira]

yes that's much better now. Cool!
