settimed doesn't update wallpaper

[eddsalkield]

I am currently running settimed with sway on Fedora. When initialised, settimed sets the wallpaper correctly, but never updates the wallpaper again after that. When prompted with signal USR1, a line is written to the log file but the image is not changed, even hours on.

I am running settimed with the following options:

settimed /usr/share/backgrounds/eddos/mojave/mojave-timed.stw > /home/edd/wallpaper.log

With a .stw file containing:

stw: 1.0
name: mojave-timed
format: /usr/share/backgrounds/eddos/mojave/mojave_dynamic-%s0.jpg
@00:00-03:00: 000 .. 030
@03:00-06:00: 030 .. 060
@06:00-07:00: 060 .. 070
@07:00-08:00: 070 .. 080
@08:00-09:00: 080 .. 090
@09:00-10:00: 090 .. 100
@10:00-11:00: 100 .. 110
@11:00-12:00: 110 .. 120
@12:00-14:00: 120 .. 140
@14:00-15:00: 140 .. 150
@15:00-16:00: 150 .. 160
@16:00-17:00: 160 .. 170
@17:00-18:00: 170 .. 180
@18:00-19:00: 180 .. 190
@19:00-21:00: 190 .. 210
@21:00-00:00: 210 .. 000

Which outputs the following log (the time was 15:30 when prompted with the USR1 signals):

Many thanks for your work on this project; I hope that I can start using it properly and not be forced to hack together a pythonic bodge instead.

Thanks for reporting! I'll look into this. settimed is the weakest utility included in "wallutils" and I'm in the process of rewriting it.

I have rewritten the event system and updated the settimed command. Could you please check if settimed from the main branch now works as expected?

[eddsalkield]

Thanks, I've tested this out and it seems to be working! I'll run this in the background tomorrow and report back with any difficulties that I experience.

There's a new release of wallutils: 5.10.0. Please re-open this issue if this should still be a problem.
