I don't think this is something we'll be able to do in the official slideshow wallpaper plugin, sorry. It seems like a very unusual niche feature. However it would be possible for someone (maybe you?) to write a new wallpaper plugin that includes the file path overlaid on top of the image somewhere. It could be hosted on store.kde.org and anyone could download it. SUMMARY Sometimes a picture from my photo collection shows and someone asks: Where is that? When have you been there? On vacation? Because the Cameras only gives generic names, I usually name the folder. But for wallpapers downloaded from the internet the filename is usually the juicy part to look for. Sometimes I fancy a detail on a screensaver picture, that I'd like to zoom in. It would be great, if I could open the picture in gwenview or my default viewer and zoom in. Of course gwenview would only open after the correct password was provided. If the password fails, forget about the click ... STEPS TO REPRODUCE Windows incorporates links to open Bing in the background with the picture (just as an inspiration, though I don't intend to run a websearch from my lockscreen). OBSERVED RESULT Beautiful, but naked photo without context ... EXPECTED RESULT The link would only show, when the password prompt / or the clock is visible (don't obscure the picture). Clicking it would register a singular intent to open this picture in some app. If the slideshow meanwhile displays a new picture, still keep the intent for the previous picture, unless the link for the current picture is clicked to renew/change the intent. If the password-entry hides (either ESC or timeout) - forget about the intent. Especially don't prematurely open multiple gwenview-processes in the background - wait for the correct password confirmation.

Product Name: GE70 2OC\2OD\2OE System Version: REV:1.0 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION What security implication do you fear? My music collection and thereby my music taste leaks through the media-player. Why are picture names like "2023-06-15 summer in XXX/imag_745.jpg" more intimidating, than say Firefox having played a sex-clip from xhamster last night and even after switching to a different tab/window still giving me the explicit title under the password prompt on the lockscreen next morning? |
