Bug ID: 469343
Summary: Prevent multiple monitors displaying the same
slideshow-based wallpaper at the same time
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.27.4
Platform: Archlinux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: Image Wallpaper
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: perso...@quenten.nl
CC: notm...@gmail.com, qydwhotm...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
I have multiple monitors on my setup and I have the wallpapers on each one set
to "slideshow" with the "random" order. All of these have the same directory
set as the source and the same interval. Because of the random nature of the
slideshows, it's possible for two monitors to show the same wallpaper at the
same time. Can this be fixed?
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have multiple monitors on your computer
2. On two or more monitors, set up a random-order wallpaper slideshow of the
same directory or at least containing the same wallpapers
3. Wait, due to the random nature of the slideshow, it's possible to show the
same wallpaper.
OBSERVED RESULT
The same wallpaper may be shown on multiple monitors.
EXPECTED RESULT
The same wallpaper may not appear on two monitors at the same time.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 6.1.24-1-lts
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.105.0
Qt Version: 5.15.9
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This is a pretty show priority request, I understand that completely. If my
math is right, then if I have 10 wallpapers in the set and two monitors, then
the probability that both monitors display the same wallpaper is 10%, so only
10% of the time that I am looking at my desktop wallpaper I can even notice
this issue. So consider it not very high on the priority list, hence the minor
status of this bug report.
