SUMMARY Select Wallpapers has no way to select multiple files at once or to select a folder of images. WOuld make managing wallpapers slightly easier and is possible in other desktop managers like OSX. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Configure desktop 2. Select files 3. Try to ctrl-click to select multiple images OBSERVED RESULT You must select each wallapaper image separately EXPECTED RESULT You can select multiple files or folders and have them all add to the wallpaper directory magically SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedoa 29 Desktop (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.14.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.52.0 Qt Version: 5.11.1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION If it's not too hard, I could take a look, I have been able to find dolphin's source code.
You might want to be using the Slideshow wallpaper instead? This part of the code isn't in Dolphin but plasma: https://cgit.kde.org/plasma-workspace.git/tree/wallpapers/image/image.cpp#n625
Interesting, thanks for the link. I don't actually want to have multiple desktop images like Slideshow, but I wanted to be able to manage them all in the wallpapers section. For instance I want to try a few new wallpapers. In the current workflow I have to select each one separately instead of ctrl-clicking or adding by folder.
Changing that shouldn't be too hard. You can also drag images into the dialog, where dragging multiple works.
Huh, I never knew that. I think that will be hard to discover. What's the process for changing stuff in Plasma? Pull request?
Effectively a pull request: https://community.kde.org/Infrastructure/Phabricator
OK, I will take a look maybe get my first patch in if that sounds reasonable. The simplest case would be adding support to control-click multiple images I think.
