Pushed to master in: commit 318996b92055b1ed40cff4bd35f4534e0db3dcc3 Author: Eric Koegel eric.koe...@gmail.com Date: Fri Aug 1 10:03:27 2014 +0300 Add a --next option to force wallpaper changes (Bug 10754) Several users have external scripts telling xfdesktop when to change the wallpaper. This patch adds a --next option so that users can advance the wallpaper on the current workspace when they want with those scripts, rather than being limited to only the time based events that are built into xfdesktop. http://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfdesktop/commit/?id=318996b92055b1ed40cff4bd35f4534e0db3dcc3 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1293287 Title: xubuntu 14.04 'xfdesktop --reload' no longer cycles wallpaper image To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xfdesktop/+bug/1293287/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Created attachment 5576 Add a --next option to force wallpaper changes This proposed patch adds a --next option to advance the wallpaper on the desktop. This way you can change the background based on things other than time. It also won't reload the menu and all the desktop icons just to change the wallpaper. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1293287 Title: xubuntu 14.04 'xfdesktop --reload' no longer cycles wallpaper image To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xfdesktop/+bug/1293287/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1293287]
Same experience here. I use the reload feature to update my desktop on demand based on events. As a workaround I'm creating duplicate background images in a directory and tell the desktop to switch every ten seconds. This is works but it's not synchronized with the event and it seems like an unnecessary use of resources to constantly update the image whether it's needed or not. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1293287 Title: xubuntu 14.04 'xfdesktop --reload' no longer cycles wallpaper image To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xfdesktop/+bug/1293287/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1293287] [NEW] xubuntu 14.04 'xfdesktop --reload' no longer cycles wallpaper image
Public bug reported: In the past I have relied on the following behavior (still) described in the xfdesktop man page to change my desktop wallpaper: -R, --reload Causes an already-running instance of xfdesktop to reload all its settings, including loading a new random backdrop if using a backdrop list. I realize that the wallpaper image code is significantly improved in 14.04, however this feature seems to have gone missing. I also realize that there are built in options to rotate the wallpaper automatically in a variety of ways, however the particular method I like to use (rotate at set times, like hour:00, hour:30, etc.) isn't one of those options. If 'xfdesktop --reload' were fixed to do the rotation again my old script would work, problem solved. :) If that's not possible then consider this a feature request to add the ability to schedule rotation every N minutes relative to the top of the hour (as opposed to relative to log in, which it does now). To reproduce: 1. Right-click on desktop, choose Desktop Settings 2. Under the Folder: pull down menu choose a folder with multiple images 3. Optional: Click Change the Background, choose Every hour from the pull down, and check the Random Order box 4. Click Close 5. On the command line, run 'xfdesktop --reload' The desktop should refresh itself, but nothing will happen to the wallpaper FWIW, the way that it worked for many releases of XFCE prior to xubuntu 14.04 was to go to Desktop Settings and configure an image list without checking the change the background box. Then 'xfdesktop --reload' just did the rotation randomly. ** Affects: xfdesktop4 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1293287 Title: xubuntu 14.04 'xfdesktop --reload' no longer cycles wallpaper image To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfdesktop4/+bug/1293287/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
