Set as desktop background action #309

Can i work on this issue.

jurplel commented 4 years ago

Sure!

sonulohani commented 4 years ago

I am able to set the background in windows. However in Linux it depends on the desktop environment you're using. I have never worked in apple based system, so I've no idea on how to do it.

Mac should be simple: https://davidwalsh.name/desktop-wallpaper-command-line

Linux should use gsettings and qdbus to at least support GNOME and KDE--other desktop environments usually use one of those anyway. There should be a check somewhere when the program starts for if the relevant software is installed, and if not, the set desktop background option should not be visible.

What's the status of this? It never got merged into master and it would be very useful if it was!

jurplel commented 3 years ago

Well it's not as simple as just merging it, because I have to make two more implementations for it. The linux one in particular is inconsistent, and might not be reasonably possible at all...

I would suggest to merge atleast for windows.

jurplel commented 3 years ago

Yeah, that might be what I end up doing. That feature is more common on Windows than elsewhere anyway.

I also need this, want to set some pictures as wallpaper

This is a very useful feature, one of the basic ones, it would be great to see it and replace the standard viewer.

It is worth noting, for the time being you should be able to use "show in explorer" and then right click the image and set it as background there.
