--- Comment #39 from Evan McLean <ecogn...@michevan.id.au> --- Well, the patch[1] I have been using for the last few years ago is now no good as I've moved to Plasma 5. Until it is possible to do this via dbus again, I've found a workaround that is acceptable for my use, at least. Thought I would document it here in case anyone else finds it useful: 1. Go to Desktop Settings/Wallpaper for the screen. 2. Change Wallpaper Type to Slideshow. 3. Change timeout to a short value, I use ten seconds. 4. Add a folder that only contains the currently desired wallpaper image. Then, when you want to change wallpapers, delete the current image in the folder, and move/link[2] the new image. The new image should have a different file name to the previous one. For more than one screen, do this for each screen, each with its own folder. Have been using this technique seamlessly for a few weeks now from my wallpaper managing shell script[3]. [1] https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=217950#c15 [2] Best not to copy the image. The move or linking is (effectively) an atomic operation, whereas the desktop my try to load an incomplete image file while it is being copied.
