hyprpaper fails to load subsequent wallpaper through hyprctl

[RCSoap]

since hyprpaper 0.6.0 when using a script like the one below to call hyprctl to load wallpapers all wallpapers loaded after the first (i assume i only have 2 monitor so cant test more) aren't loaded despite hyprctl returning "ok" for every command

`#!/bin/bash

case $1 in

-fl|flowers) hyprctl hyprpaper preload "/home/rowan/pictures/wallpapers/set/flowers/pexels-photo-971174.jpeg" hyprctl hyprpaper preload "/home/rowan/pictures/wallpapers/set/flowers/pexels-photo-12106724.jpeg" hyprctl hyprpaper wallpaper "DP-3,/home/rowan/pictures/wallpapers/set/flowers/pexels-photo-971174.jpeg" hyprctl hyprpaper wallpaper "HDMI-A-1,/home/rowan/pictures/wallpapers/set/flowers/pexels-photo-12106724.jpeg" hyprctl hyprpaper unload all ;;

-wa|waveDM-v1) hyprctl hyprpaper preload "/home/rowan/pictures/wallpapers/set/wave dm/03-DevHome_DM-4K.png" hyprctl hyprpaper preload "/home/rowan/pictures/wallpapers/set/wave dm/04-Layers_DM-4K-portrait.png" hyprctl hyprpaper wallpaper "DP-3,/home/rowan/pictures/wallpapers/set/wave dm/03-DevHome_DM-4K.png" hyprctl hyprpaper wallpaper "HDMI-A-1,/home/rowan/pictures/wallpapers/set/wave dm/04-Layers_DM-4K-portrait.png" hyprctl hyprpaper unload all ;;

help) printf "usage: wallchange [option || wallpaper]\n\noptions:\n help -displays this help message\n\nwallpapers:\n flowers\n waveDM-v1\n\n" ;;

*) printf "\nerror!: '$1' is not a valid wallpaper\n\nuse: 'wallchange help' for a list of valid wallpapers\n\n" exit 1 ;;

esac exit 0`

to fix this i can add a delay like "sleep 1" in the script (0.18 is the lowest i can use on my system) this script works fine on hyprpaper v-0.4.0 and v-0.5.0 my distribution is fedora (sorry i know it isnt supported) hyprlang is v-0.4.1 (compiled myself) below are hyprpaper logs from when this script is run although i cant see anything wrong in them

hyprctl hyprpaper unload all -> hyprctl hyprpaper unload unused

thanks a lot that fixes it. It didn't occur to me that that was caused by using unload all afterwards, i guess because sleeping fixes it for some reason? would you like me to open a pr to briefly mention this in the readme or are you fine with it being mentioned in the wiki?

[vaxerski]

it is in the wiki iirc
