Currently the only way to cycle your desktop (if it is in slideshow mode from a folder) is to right-click the desktop and select Next Wallpaper. It would be nice to expose this via dbus so that we can make a hotkey for it. I'm tired of always having to go through the context menu each time I want to change the wallpaper. PS: I hope this is in the right place.
There is. See plasma scripting; then look at the evaluateScript method in plasmashell
Thank you for your reply. I am sorry for bothering you, but...well, I'm not that familiar with the API. AFAIK there is no way to do next slide. --------------------------------------------- var allDesktops = desktops(); currentDesktop = allDesktops[0]; for(i=0;i<allDesktops.length;i++) { currentDesktop = allDesktops[i]; if(currentDesktop.wallpaperPlugin == "org.kde.slideshow") { //TODO next image a.k.a slide //https://github.com/KDE/plasma-workspace/blob/master/wallpapers/image/imagepackage/contents/ui/main.qml#L46 } } --------------------------------------------- Could you please point me in the right direction? Btw, I'm aware that you 'can' do a slide show by using the set wallpaper method available from dbus. Like Krawall or the likes. But what about calling the native function NextSlide() ? Thank you for your time.
