Hello Micha,
here it is again after CHTS . I still have to install the 2.10, but let's speak about it in the right thread and when I'll be able to say something.
However, thank you to Micha, Rapid81 and all people so kind and generous first of all!

About WapaC, that was my suggestions in the past. I already wrote you in CHTS thread for something related do Manila, for now I simply copy and paste suggestions I made some time ago:

Now I've a lot of suggestions for you. By the way I've already implemented via mortscript but if you would like to implement in your program it will be much better even for me, because script are slower and less reliable.
If you think it could be useful I can show you where you can download my script that I already shared.

Let's start with suggestion:
For my script I use this kind of "configuration row":

SmallImageL=\Storage Card\Foto\My Pictures L\|file|smallImage2.jpg|400|240
OthersBigP=\Storage Card\Skin\Wad2\Wallpaper800_P\Other|dir|othersBigP .jpg|0|0
OthersSmallL=\Storage Card\Skin\Wad2\Wallpaper800_L\Other|dir|othersSmal lL.jpg|400|240
DigitalClock=\Storage Card\Skin\Wad2\DigitalClocks|folder|DigitalClock\C lock|0|0

Fields are separated by "|" and meanings are:
<Source Dir>|<type>|<destination>|<resize_width>|<resize_l ength>

So I can:

- If <type> equals "file" script substitutes the destination file with a randomly chosen file directly below source dir.
- If <type> equals "dir" script substitutes the destination file with a randomly chosen file below one level subdirs of source dir. Useful if you catalog your wallpapers to better organize them but want to mix them during schedule.
- If <type> equals "folder" script substitutes all the files inside a folder with the ones taken by a randomly chosen folder below source dir. Useful if you want for example to substitute clocks, made by 4/5 manila files
- I put automatic resizing if wanted to automatically adapt pictures size if needed. For me 0 means don't resize, else resize in my example to 400x240. Could be useful if you already know the "perfect" size for a kind of wallpaper.
- This kind of organization let me choose a different background for different applications like PowerRadio or G-Alarm, simply knowing the background path for such applications. And I would able for example to use my personal pics for lockscreen and instead nature pics for all tab CHT and 960x800 pics for wide CHT. Every folder a different meaning.

I would add the chance to choose between a random and a linear sequence.

Exactly!!!
totally different!
But when you follow the thread
You would know donwhann is full of gratitude as we all do.
Especially for developer like Micha and Rapid would "listen" what user says and respond so soon.
Many company hardly listen what customer wants.
As Micha said, we all understand and feeling grateful.
This world gets better because we all do our job, what we're good at.
So don't forget there's a lot of people saying thank you and giving wishes.
That's something that money can't buy.
So keep up the good work and good luck on your "real" job!!!

Hi Francesco,

yeah - let's talk on in CHTS-thread, so that it suits to the rest.
If I got you right, then you need a flexibility for the destination. but how is this triggered by the app?
it would be good, if you point me to the mortscript, then I can look, what's possible.I think, I have an idea, but at first I must be sure, that I understood it.
at best - direct answer in CHTS-Thread for it - so I have the wishes in one place for later.

@bass122: wise words, mate!

 

[zhiiscool]

Not sure if you use CHT or not.
I strongly recommend it and also CHTS for scheduling all wallpapers, Today, Hometab, AllTabs, Landscape, Lockscreen, and much much more.
Especially since the Dev on WaPac is now pretty well done.
Development on CHTS is currently very strong and working very very well.

It also works on my Dell Axim X51 with win 5.1!

Stuck after cycling all pictures

Hi Rapid,

Your program works great, but there is a hick-up!
When the last of my wallpapers has been shown...the very first wallpaper shows up and doesn't change anymore! Still the program keeps loading the next wallpaper.
I have to shut the program down...reload the standard background...soft reset the my device and restart the program. and this needs to be done on my HTC touch pro with WM6.1 as well as my Dell Axim X51 with WM5. The start on windows start isn't working either.

Is this all due to my divices or a tiny glitch in the program?

Thanks in advance for an working solution because it's a great addition to my devices! (even with this problem!)

Mike

[kmz_god]

lets see the wallpapers rolling

 

[DonToni85]

Can´t install the app. how does this work??? plz help

 

[creativeme]

This is interesting app and very cool to try out !

But is it possible to have the wallpapers changed in order ( like first 01.jpg the 02.jpg & so on ) . I have experienced that pictures change randomly when the folder is specified.

 

[tantienjscbacninh]

Great app ! thanks man
