Dynamic or user configurable column count for displaying images in main window.

[SherLock707]

Instead of fixed 3 column of images can we get number of column based on app window size (_can be based on launched window size or dynamic update upon resiz_e) or based on a user config value?

Awesome app! Thank you for your hardwork.

Hi, I tried to achieve the scaling automatically for a while, but that just never worked for me. Maybe someone more knowledgeable about GTK could advise. However, I like the idea of putting the number of columns in the config, I'll try this approach.

So, I managed to implement it, now the config parameter number_of_columns = 3 should be able to control it. You can test in by installing from the main. It will be available in the next version.

Oh wow! That was quick! Thanks. Can't wait to try it out.

How do I build and run it?
I tried:
python3 setup.py build
python3 setup.py install

Off-topic: When I set a wallpaper, is there any way I can get name/path of that image file?
Need to send that path to pywall or any script to do some stuff

Two simple ways are:

yay -S waypaper-git (if you are on Arch)

pipx install git+https://github.com/anufrievroman/waypaper

Thanks, and how do I build it from repo?

As far as I understand, you don't really build it, setup script just puts python files into corresponding folders. For example, if you cloned it, you can run it from the repo folder directly as python -m waypaper.

p.s. there might be errors due to missing package meta data, so to use this method you'd need to have some version of waypaper installed globally in your system.

Oh cool, understood. Thanks
