Bug ID: 499447
Summary: Remember wallpapers per physical monitor or resolution
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 6.2.5
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: Image & Slideshow wallpaper plugins
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: creideiki+kdeb...@ferretporn.se

Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
I use slideshow wallpapers, centred without scaling, with manually pre-sized
images in one directory per resolution, individually set per screen, i.e.:
~/backgrounds/1920x1080/
~/backgrounds/1920x1200/
~/backgrounds/2560x1440/
I have a laptop with a 1920x1200 built-in monitor, and regularly move between
external monitors with the other resolutions as well (the most common ones are
2560x1440 over DP through a USB-C docking station, dual 1920x1200 over DP
through another USB-C docking station, and 1920x1080 over HDMI).
When I switch monitors, it seems to be random which directory the desktop on
the new monitor gets its wallpapers from, and I often have to manually change
to the correct one. E.g. I plug in to the docking station with the 2560x1440
monitor, and Plasma displays wallpapers on that monitor from
~/backgrounds/1920x1200/, giving me images with the wrong aspect ratio and a
large black border.
I would prefer it if Plasma could remember the wallpaper configuration per
physical monitor, or per screen resolution.
