Essentially the idea is to be able to specify in the configuration multiple wallpaper paths (directories or individual images), that could be merged internally, for example:
[any]
mode = "center"
paths = ["/home/foo/wallpapers/pack1", "/home/foo/wallpapers/pack2"]
I know about the recursive traversal of the directory specified, so technically we could just enter
[any]
path = "/home/foo/wallpapers"
but that would include everything under this directory, and we might not want it to.
A few ways to go about it
- Add paths option to the config and flatten everything internally in the application.
- Make path accept list introducing breaking changes.
- (Hacky) Use already existing recursive feature, create symbolic directory links for specified paths in $XDG_STATE_HOME/merged (for example) and just use this path as an input, the rest will be handled.
- I shut up and use previous solution for my possibly niche use case myself.
