More flexible monitor selection #72

Open Vladimir-csp opened 8 years ago

Vladimir-csp commented 8 years ago

a continuation of #71: allow wallpapers to be saved in config file by either monitor number or output name. Section with output name would take precedence over section with number in case of conflict.

Also do not erase individual monitor configuration when setting something 'full screen'. Although, that would require to add some way to remove configuration for specific section via GUI and CLI.

Suggestion for GUI: use tabs for monitors. Visible tabs would include monitors that are connected to the system and those for which configuration is present in the file. Also there could be special 'default' tab for image to apply on unconfigured monitors.

I think an even better way of doing this would be to store wallpaper by the monitor's EDID. I often connect different screens through the same port, and the monitor resolution and orientation will vary.

Will it ever be fixed? Is nitrogen still maintained at all?
