SUMMARY There is no way to paste clipboard contents to the wallpaper other than saving the clipboard contents to disk via an image editing application and setting the resulting image as a wallpaper. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open https://wallhaven.cc/w/yxl66g in firefox 2. Right-click, copy image 3. Right-click desktop OBSERVED RESULT No option to paste clipboard image to the desktop EXPECTED RESULT Option to paste clipboard image on the desktop SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.2.0 Qt Version: 6.7.1 Kernel Version: 6.9.1-arch1-2 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 2700X Eight-Core Processor Memory: 31.3 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon RX 6500 XT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I can't right-click-paste in the wallpaper config dialog either.
This isn't a bug, but rather the lack of a feature you apparently expected to exist. :) Seems pretty niche, I'm not sure about this. To do it, it would have to secretly create a file for the wallpaper and stash it somewhere--what place should it use? If it was a visible location, you might be confused by why a random file appeared somewhere, and move it elsewhere or delete it--and this would break its ability to be the wallpaper. If we saved the file to a secret location to prevent this, then you would have random images in hidden locations that you couldn't find. Can you outline how exactly you envision this feature to work technically? What do you see as the right way to overcome that challenge?
>This isn't a bug, but rather the lack of a feature you apparently expected to exist. :) :^) >Can you outline how exactly you envision this feature to work technically? What do you see as the right way to overcome that challenge? Stash a file at `~/.cache/plasmashell/wallpaper/clipboard wallpaper.jpg` with lossy 95% jpeg compression. Pasting a new clipboard wallpaper overwrites the old one.
That wouldn't be appropriate, because logically the wallpaper isn't cache data that it's safe to delete at will; it's user data that should be saved when the cache gets cleared for any reason.
