Description William Kendrick 2020-06-13 18:43:28 UTC

It would be great if the Picture of the Day desktop wallpaper plugin had the option to either render (directly onto the image), or otherwise make available (say, via an optional plasma widget that one could add to the desktop) some of the metadata about the image currently being used as the desktop wallpaper.

That is, the credits (photographer/artist/etc. of the image) and descriptive information (the title or subject of the image, its description, etc.).

For example, the "Astronomy (NASA)" (aka Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD)) image today (June 13, 2020), sourced from https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap200613.html, could show:
* Title: "SpaceX Demo-2 Launch"
* Credit: "NASA/Joel Kowsky"
* Description: "Clouds are white but the sky is dark in this snapshot of Launch Complex 39A at the Kennedy Space Center. The dramatic daytime sky...[etc.]"

And the "Unsplash" image I'm seeing today (June 13, 2020), sourced from https://unsplash.com/photos/vv-oEGlN-4E, could show:
* Title: "aerial view of asphalt road surrounded by trees" (oddly, only seen in page's <title> tag)
* Credit: "Jaromír Kavan"
* Description: "Transfagarasan by Drone" (perhaps also with the geo-location, "Transfăgărășan, Sibiu, Romania")

Comment 1 charly ghislain 2020-07-13 08:41:34 UTC

Once parsed by the providers, a plasma widget to display the caption would be awesome.

Comment 2 Siddhartha 2020-08-05 18:17:33 UTC

I'd like this feature very much. I frequently open bing.com manually to find out the details (location/background) of a particular wallpaper that looks amazing.

Also, sometimes the wallpaper of a particular day is not attractive. An additional cool option would be to be able to load wallpapers from previous days, say using navigation arrows or a date picker on a widget, that'll allow the users to manually load historical wallpapers from an arbitrary day (provided the source supports accessing previous wallpapers, of course).

Comment 3 Fushan Wen 2022-01-20 17:53:23 UTC

I have finished adding title, author and the download URL for the Bing provider. However it seems impossible to show the information in the config dialog using the current code.
