Wallpaper Cycler: Bug Fixes and New Features
A new iteration of the Wallpaper Cycler development has started.
The following new features have been implemented in Wallpaper Cycler:
- When a layout doesn’t contain a wallpaper object with the “Which Wallpaper” property set to “Auto” a warning will be shown. This is done because in that case certain aspects of WPC will not work as expected. Double clicking a wallpaper in the main window for example will actually NOT show that wallpaper on your desktop because that’s the “Auto” wallpaper.
- A new option in Tools > Program Settings > Global > Startup called “Delay load last WCL at startup”. This allows you to specify a delay in seconds before Wallpaper Cycler will reload the last WCL file at startup.
- You can now make a printout of your calendar notes.
- %wallpaperfullname% can be used in text objects on layouts to display the full pathname + extension of a wallpaper and not only the filename part like %wallpapername% does.
I also made the following bug fixes for Wallpaper Cycler:
- When using “Random from fixed category” for a wallpaper object in a layout, WPC will now recursively select a wallpaper from the selected fixed category.
- Some configurations of wallpaper objects in layouts didn’t take disabled tags into account.
- The “Quick Disable” feature now properly checks all wallpapers currently on the desktop to determine if it needs to cycle when disabling a category or tag.
- WPC would crash with truncated BMP files. Most photo editing programs are also unable to load those, however, now WPC loads them without a problem, at least when they are not too damaged.
- The Vista gadget didn’t install on Vista 64 bit in the correct folder.
- You were unable to specify “-1” for the “Days After Current Day” in layouts > Calendar Notes Object > Edit Calendar Notes > General
