Bug ID: 426529
Summary: Feature Request: Configure Desktop - Additional "Oder"
Option For "Slideshow"
Product: Plasma Workspace Wallpapers
Version: 5.19.5
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org

SUMMARY
Hello!
I would like to kindly make a request to add an additional option to arrange
the order of the wallpapers.
I always use a few different folders for my wallpapers expecting to be able to
see them arranged in the order I intent (by folder and in alphabetical order)
but the option is not available in the plasma default wallpaper "app" nor in
any other that is available in the "new plugins" section. I tried "Vallpaper",
it actually reads the wallpapers "by folder" but it gets the images randomly
and apparently it doesn't "remember" in which image it was after turning the PC
off, so every time you start a new session, it just starts over, in a few
words, it doesn't do what I would like it to do.
Also, the only wallpaper "app" that I like until now is the one that comes by
default in Plasma but there's just that feature "missing", so I would like to
please ask you, if it is possible and it doesn't cause any inconvenient trouble
for you, if you could please add an "Order" option called something like "By
Folder" in which it reads the folders and images in alphabetical order and,
like it does now, it remembers where it stopped, so my desktop shows the
wallpaper where I "left" before turning off the PC.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set Wallpapers order to "A - Z"
OBSERVED RESULT
It "plays" the wallpapers in "alphabetical order" as if all of them were in the
exact same folder but not actually in alphabetical order, or numerical order in
fact, it seems to have a limit of numerical names below 1000 and it arranges
files with a number >= 1000 apparently only considering the hundreds portion of
the name.
EXPECTED RESULT
To be able to read from folders in alphabetical order and "play" the wallpapers
in alphabetical order too. Remember where it "stopped" after starting a new
session.
