Updated to qt-5.9.1 today (and frameworks-5.37, plasma-5.10, apps-17.08 in the
process) and I am no longer hitting the blurry issue. The sourceSize lines in
main.qml are there (due to the update) but the issue is not present. Does this
mean this was a QT bug all along?

A picture with a large width and a small height.

Currently I am using the Arch Linux x86_64 package plasma-workspace version
5.10.4-2.

With this version, I cannot reproduce the problem, if the “Positioning” option
is set to “Scaled and Cropped”.

Unfortunately, now there is blurring, if the “Positioning” option is set to
“Scaled”. I attached two svg pictures that show the problem very clearly. The
problem seems to occur, when the aspect ration of the picture deviates
significantly from the aspect ration of the screen.

Also I noticed that plasmashell occasionally segfaults when changing the
“Positioning” option between “Scaled” and “Scaled and Cropped” and applying the
change afterwards. (Maybe this is worth a separate bug report.)

Sorry for the (HUGE) delay. I can clearly see a difference between commenting
and uncommenting. With sourceSize commented, the image look much crisper (less
blurriness).

Does this mean that something must be updated? As I've said before, all
appearances of sourceSize have been commented in my
/usr/share/plasma/wallpapers/org.kde.image/contents/ui/main.qml but the issue
still persists. Should I update to qt-5.9 once it's released?

godlike: the following minimal test should show whether you have the bug even
without sourceSize. You need to install qmlscene, and save the following code
into test.qml. Put the wallpaper to the same directory (adjust the filename if
necessary) and then run with "qmlscene test.qml". It should show a very obvious
grid-like pattern (at least if you take a screenshot and zoom in). Then you can
try commenting out the sourceSize line to see whether that gets rid of the
pattern of not.

test.qml:

import QtQuick 2.5
Image {
width: 900 
height: 600
source: "03162_christmaseveinseattle_3840x2400.jpg"
sourceSize: Qt.size(width, height) // try commenting this out
}

I rotated the wallpaper (instead of monitor) and it looked good. I can see that
grid-like pattern in both your landscape and rotated screens in your screenshot
in comment #28. I only get that pattern when sourceSize is being used. Also the
rotated images are very blurry, that would be expected when you use sourceSize.

I was reloading plasma shell but for the sake of testing I logged out and back
in. Neither with:

currentImage.sourceSize.width = root.width

nor with those lines commented can I get a good rendering of the wallpaper on
my rotated screen. Were you able to temporarily rotate a screen and get a nice
looking wallpaper on it?

BTW I'm currently at plasma-5.8.3 with QT 5.7

It's a bit strange that you have the bug even after applying the patch from
comment #20. I can see the bug in both your rotated and non-rotated screens.
Could you make sure you have removed or commented out all occurrences of the
line

currentImage.sourceSize = Qt.size(root.width, root.height)

in your main.qml? If you make any changes, log out and log in again.

Indeed. If a screen is rotated (like in my previous example) the issue still
occurs after patching main.qml in this alternative way unfortunately.

Actually the Qt documentation says the aspect ratio will be maintained
regardless of what the sourceSize is. So the patch should not be needed and
this must be a Qt bug, somehow Qt manages to mess up the scaling in some cases
when using sourceSize. I have submitted a report:

Well, it has to load the image to memory before drawing it to the screen. The
question is, in which size it should load it? If you can assume the display
size of the image stays constant (like in the case of a wallpaper), it makes
sense to save it at the same size as it is shown. However, Qt Quick was
designed for dynamic interfaces without such assumptions, so you have to tell
it the size you want to store it.

It is exactly workaround, the user cannot change these values for every single
image he/she uses.

Actually the correct solution would involve figuring out whether
sourceSize.width or sourceSize.height should be set (depends on the relative
aspect ratios of the screen and the wallpaper image). But this patch should
serve as a decent workaround as long as the aspect ratios are not vastly
different.

I found the problem and a fix!

Setting sourceImage.size to the size of the screen may change the aspect ratio
of the image. Qt handles this especially badly and I think there is a bug in Qt
regarding that. However, there is no reason to change the aspect ratio back and
forth. It's better to set just the width or the height of the source and let Qt
keep the aspect ratio.

Changing all occurrences of the line

currentImage.sourceSize = Qt.size(root.width, root.height)

in /usr/share/plasma/wallpapers/org.kde.image/contents/ui/main.qml to

currentImage.sourceSize.width = root.width

fixes it for me. I think this is an actual fix, not just a workaround.

I can confirm this problem and am also affected by it: I use Slideshow as my
wallpaper type, with Scaled and Cropped for positioning. Some high resolution
wallpapers (not all, appears to be random) appear blurry and pixelated. Opening
the same image in Gwenview and zooming to the exact same size looks fine
however. This did not exist in KDE4, and started happening with Plasma 5. Very
annoying bug... please try to find a fix for this!

Is there no way to load the image from file, smoothly downscale it to the
currently needed resolution(s), and only save this result(s) in heap and GPU
memory?

I think this bug should get a higher priority, just because you can tell that a
lot of work went into making Plasma 5 beautiful, and this bug spoils it.  I am
okay with working around it by saving cropped versions of my photos and using
the centered wallpaper mode, but the average user isn't going to know what the
problem is or how to work around it.  They'll just get frustrated and switch to
something else, which would be a shame.  

I'm looking forward to this getting fixed soon (fingers crossed).

Is it planned to fix QImageLoader ? That seem to be the right way to fix this
don't you think ?

I agree with this feeling but I think it's not fair. A lot of work has been,
and is being made in Plasma 5, KF5 and KDE apps.

I think Mr. Ruffalo's main point was how badly that makes KDEPlasma look, even
though we know how much work was put into it. 

And he is right, because an average user won't look at the bug tracker to see
if someone's attending such an issue, but just say "Ugh, this is ugly, give me
my windows back." - And they would be right, because a wallpaper is a really
basic UX thing, it shouldn't be rocket science in a DE like this.

It is hard for an average user to understand what kind and how much work was
put into KDE, and they won't even try if their wallpaper will look as they
spilled something on it.

And this is one of a few reasons (there were a few other similar unsolved
issues like this) I myself got back to using KDE4. How does thinking how
beautiful an engine runs things help me, when I can't connect a monitor without
crashing Plasma and my wallpaper is blurred to a point where I start checking
if my glasses are still alright?

And it's, i think, a valuable point to make here, what Mr. was also trying to
put through, if I got him right, is that maybe there should be some better
prioritization of work:  For it's really hard to appreciate a car when it has
an ugly, rusty body that puts everyone off, even if the insides are Ferrari.
Especially when it seems that this little paint job shouldn't be such a great
strain to someone who knows the proper KDE insides.
