Is there a way to be able to use multiple different types of wallpapers?

Basically, I have multiple computers that share a network drive of wallpapers. Those wallpapers are all sorts of different sizes. The problem is, some of my computers have 3 monitors, some 2 and some 1.

I would like to be able to use any size wallpaper. Here is how I would envision it (assuming there is no other way to do it right now).

DF would ask you for your computers native monitor resolution and based upon that resolution, dynamically change the wallpaper.

Example. As I am currently working on my triple screen system, I use the stretch feature for most wallpapers. The wallpapers are mostly setup for dual or triple screen. However I want to also be able to use single screen wallpapers. If the software was smart enough to recognize your resolution and realize when your resolution is say 1920x933 - if its trying to load a wallpaper that is only 1024x768 (or say 1680x1050) it would then change that picture to none stretch and display it in the middle screen.

Display Fusion is probably my number one tool. The first thing I install on any OS. However, its only current downfall is not being able to manage multiple sized wallpapers dynamically.

This post can either be used for a discussion of a work around, or for future enhancement request.

Edit: Something like the checkbox for "dont stretch smaller images" only with more advanced options

Thanks for the feedback! I don't think there's any sort of workaround for this functionality at the moment, but I will add this to our list for further investigation, and we'll be sure to post any updates if/when we have them

Thanks!

Your "dont stretch smaller images, is so close to what Im looking for. However, it just doesnt do everthing. Keep up the awesome work on this program. Its the first program I install on my computer.

I'm looking for something similar. I also have a master network folder that all my wallpapers are stored in. Only two computers have DF and pull from that folder, a laptop and a desktop with dual monitors.

Right now, the desktop is set to randomly change every 10 minutes for each monitor separately. What I'd like it to do is automatically span images across both when that's how they'd look best. Otherwise, it continues to do each monitor separately. So, if it goes to change one of them and it selects an image that matches the criteria, it will override the other monitor change and span the image across both until the next time to change them. Not sure if it would be better to do this by setting a minimum width dimension for this to activate or maybe do it via aspect ratio. A good example of the kind of image I'm talking about is this stitched together image from the Mars rover Curiosity. http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/jpeg/PIA16768.jpg Careful, it's 14,576x2018. Obviously, on one monitor it wouldn't look that good, but stretched across both it wouldn't look too bad.

@Jon: We have an open feature request for that type of functionality as well, so I'll add your vote.

Thanks!
