After de 3.0 release, that includes HEIF format for the dynamic wallpapers, I can't set any .heic wallpaper for my desktop, cause it isn't recognized as a dynamic wallpaper. I'm using Archlinux with the KDE desktop environment. Thanks in advance!

Same here. KDE on Arch Linux.

-- Update: I tried to create heic file by kdynamicwallpaperbuilder tool and it worked pefectly.

Did you use the kdynamicwallpaperbuilder tool to create that wallpaper.heic file?

Shatur commented 4 years ago

Same here, but I downloaded .heic files from dynamicwallpaper.club. For example, this wallpaper not works, only shows preview.

Dynamic wallpapers for macOS and this plugin are incompatible. However, it's possible to write a (Python) script that populates a heic file with metadata that is necessary for this plugin to function as desired. See src/lib/metadata.xml and src/lib/kdynamicwallpapermetadata.cpp for more details.

I would be convenient to have 100% compatibility of this plugin and macos version.

Now I understand! Thank's for the explanation.

Thank you a lot, the solution worked perfectly. But is there any sense to use .heic if it does not compatible with MacOS format? Maybe use another format name to avoid confusing? In previous versions, the .json format was quite convenient.
