Comment on attachment 186171 [details] KCM-Bing Sorry, I must to compreeor this picture because it is over than upload limit
Unfortunately the plasmalogin user doesn't have access to the contents of a user's home folder, and the individual wallpaper plugins have no way to reliably copy content to a shared location or otherwise guarantee its availability. The same applies for custom wallpaper plugins that are not globally installed. This requires some clever thinking.
This is not as simple as running the wallpaper binary as the user who configured it, because this does not work for encrypted home.
My best idea is that we try to find all all the paths referenced in a plugin, and if they do indeed belong to the user, we copy the content and redirect it to a location in plasmalogin's home folder, that can be cleaned up between sync. This would let the user select a directory for the slideshow wallpaper, or reference individual images. Keeping things secure here would be a challenge, but not impossible.

OK，I will wait this fix to KDE-Unstable or CachyOS Repo
