[Feature request] Ability to add a new wallpaper from shadertoy.com #3

Closed amr3k closed 3 years ago

First, thanks for making this lovely plugin. If possible, please add a way to make user submit their shader code, or even a better way is to submit a url for target shadertoy.com and then the plugin fetches the code automatically.

@ShogunExecutioner it's in the plans! :+1:

I've just now updated the plugin to v1.3, it's a bit easier to load custom shaders now using file dialog and a bunch of new ones have been added, but they still need to be "qml" embedded.

I'll get it to a point where you can load them directly from shadertoy or shader file.

Something that will make your life easier:

At the moment you copy everything into a QML file exposed as a string property. ShaderEffect can also take files to the fragmentShader

They have to be in the form file://full/path.frag but you can use Qt.resolvedUrl for that

Then you can store fragment shaders directly as files and get rid of this QML factory. It also supports a relevant QFileSelector tags so you can have different shaders for core profile

Alright so,

1) Can now load from .frag files 2) Can now load directly from shadertoy.com 3) Speed can be controlled from GUI and be paused/resumed

I'll polish things up and release the new version :)

Currently it only works with a single buffer shaders but I know how to make it work. Just need some time.
