However with 2 images and 2 monitors this doesn't work very well. I will be making some changes to this algorithm in the next version to correct this. Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/random-wallpaper-changer-not-working/?ID=bf8cc430-1cbd-4268-ac13-339cae2b56a0#6 Mon, 08 Jun 2009 23:31:55 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/random-wallpaper-changer-not-working/?ID=bf8cc430-1cbd-4268-ac13-339cae2b56a0#6 DisplayFusion okay i figured out work around, definitely seems like a bug. One of the two images on my left monitor was set to permanently display on my right monitor. If I make a copy of the image that shows on both and rename it then it starts randomizing on the left monitor. weird, but at least the workaround works. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/random-wallpaper-changer-not-working/?ID=bf8cc430-1cbd-4268-ac13-339cae2b56a0#5 Mon, 08 Jun 2009 22:24:30 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/random-wallpaper-changer-not-working/?ID=bf8cc430-1cbd-4268-ac13-339cae2b56a0#5 DisplayFusion I removed the two pictures and just pointed it to the My Pictures folder and this worked. So then I created a new folder and dropped those two images into it and added that folder by itself and then it didnt work again. Maybe it hates me? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/random-wallpaper-changer-not-working/?ID=bf8cc430-1cbd-4268-ac13-339cae2b56a0#4 Mon, 08 Jun 2009 21:46:50 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/random-wallpaper-changer-not-working/?ID=bf8cc430-1cbd-4268-ac13-339cae2b56a0#4 DisplayFusion For a test, I'd point each monitor to a directory of pictures each (not individual files) and hit random and see if it works then... ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/random-wallpaper-changer-not-working/?ID=bf8cc430-1cbd-4268-ac13-339cae2b56a0#3 Mon, 08 Jun 2009 19:07:34 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/random-wallpaper-changer-not-working/?ID=bf8cc430-1cbd-4268-ac13-339cae2b56a0#3 DisplayFusion hmm its not checked, also when i click to goto next image, the image doesnt change either. im stumped. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/random-wallpaper-changer-not-working/?ID=bf8cc430-1cbd-4268-ac13-339cae2b56a0#2 Mon, 08 Jun 2009 18:01:30 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/random-wallpaper-changer-not-working/?ID=bf8cc430-1cbd-4268-ac13-339cae2b56a0#2 DisplayFusion Might check to see that "freeze current images" isn't selected (see attachment). It's caught me a few times as it doesn't jump out at you that it's selected. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/random-wallpaper-changer-not-working/?ID=bf8cc430-1cbd-4268-ac13-339cae2b56a0 Sun, 07 Jun 2009 20:17:49 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/random-wallpaper-changer-not-working/?ID=bf8cc430-1cbd-4268-ac13-339cae2b56a0 DisplayFusion I have monitor 2 set to randomly change between 2 images and set the timer for 5 minutes but it never changes. Monitor 1 is set to always show the same picture. Any ideas? I attached a pic of my settings. ]]>
