Photos do not rotate on Gnome #15

Closed debianuser2010 closed 13 years ago

debianuser2010 commented 13 years ago

Debian Squeeze 6.0, Gnome 2.30.2 webilder can manually set WBZ for desktop but does not automatically rotate wallpaper every 5 minutes as set in preferences. Advice? Thanks!

thesamet commented 13 years ago

Do you have the applet running inside the gnome panel (upper panel on the screen)?

debianuser2010 commented 13 years ago

Yes, I do. The Webilder panel icon is present on the launcher

Does changing the wallpaper work from Webilder Desktop?

debianuser2010 commented 13 years ago

Yes, I can change it manually from within webilder

thesamet commented 13 years ago

From the command line, type

WebilderApplet run-in-window

It is supposed to create a tiny window with the webilder applet running on it. Let it run for 5 minutes to see what it's going. We might get some helpful debugging text printed on the console.

Also, does right clicking on it, and choosing 'Next photo' cause a rotation?

The desktop app DOES rotate pics automatically; the applet does not.

Any advice on this?

thesamet commented 13 years ago

I think that at this point we'll have to go into debugging the Python code. If you're comfortable doing that I can provide guidance. Otherwise I'm going to set up more logging in the applet so we might be able to solve it in the next release.

I would love to help debug. Awaiting your instructions :-)
