settimed doesn't update wallpaper
eddsalkield opened this issue · 4 comments
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?
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.
