It is not possible to have two or more Picture Frame widgets with remote content, ie. an "Image" from different urls: When the second picture frame is added, the first one will show the same content as the second (although the settings are still intact). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add Picture Frame Widget to desktop, use Image and eg. http://www.yr.no/place/United_States/New_York/New_York/meteogram.png 2. Add new Picture Frame Widget to desktop, use Image and eg. http://www.yr.no/sted/Frankrike/Île-de-France/Paris/meteogram.png Actual Results: Notice that both frames will show the same image. Expected Results: The image that was requested (and that is still reflected by the settings of each of the widgets) I assume that this is because remote images are being cached to the same file.
Yep, it uses only m_currentUrl.fileName() for the cached file, see picture.cpp:152.

Hello! This bug report was filed for KDE Plasma 4, which reached end-of-support status in August 2015. KDE Plasma 5's desktop shell has been almost completely rewritten for better performance and usability, so it is likely that this bug has already been resolved in Plasma 5. Accordingly, we hope you understand why we must close this bug report. If the issue described here is still present in KDE Plasma 5.12 or later, please feel free to open a new ticket in the "plasmashell" product after reading https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/Bug_Reporting If you would like to get involved in KDE's bug triaging effort so that future mass bug closes like this are less likely, please read https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved#Bug_Triaging Thanks for your understanding!
