I am using xplanet to render my screen background images. After kde4 had removed the possibility to directly render to the X root, the workaround was to select a directory for viewing in slideshow mode, and have xplanet render the image into a file in this directory. This no longer works with plasma 5.7.4 (openSUSE Tumbleweed), a change of the file is ignored and only the first version loaded when starting plasma is displayed Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. create directory, put a jpeg image there 2. Desktop Settings-> Wallpaper Type Slideshow ; add above folder ; set to change every minute 3. change the jpeg image Actual Results: plasma still displays the original version of the image Expected Results: show the changed wallpaper I tried creating a link in the directory, pointing to the other file. But even then changes are ignored and only the (internally cached?) version is shown.
Update: Bug still there in version 5.8.0
