--- Comment #21 from off...@hantsch.co.at --- Good morning. This might help finding the reason, too: My workstation is running 24/7. Yesterday morning I had to restart the slideshow in the morning. Today I get only two slides displayed alternating, when I click "Next wallpaper". All other slides are not displayed. I have absolutely no knowledge in programming for KDE or in c/c++. I can read and somehoe figure out what the program should do, but not more. So I can only help with describing effects, bit with checking code. Does Slideshow load/refresh/update the file list before every slide change? Or does KDirWatch work in the way inotifywait works, triggering on changes some other code section? I use rsync to get pictures replaced. Rsync creates a _temporary_ _hidden_ file inside the target dir, and moves/renames that file to the final name (hereby deleting the previous file) after completion. Is it possible that KDirWatch has a massive problem with that? (A file appearing = hidden during transmission, disappearing after very short tiime again = renaming it, a new file appearing = final name) If so, I could try a workaround by syncing the files to a dir out of KDirWatch's view and then locally copying them to the target dir. In case that inotifywait can ignore hidden files, this might work, but this is not the right way. Needing 3 different programs/scripts to replace 4 pictures without confusing Slideshow is a bit overkill. Am Mittwoch, 16.
