^ yes, that was what I was trying to tell that I have been doing every time. The new one will register, but when used via a Desktop Rightclick command, it will not search for a picture, but will open the "What app will you use to open this unknown file format?" box.

I always unregister before removal. Sometimes I might even try to unregister again, just to make sure. Now, did I really close the door? It is always closed, but I will check it all the same.

But just for you, I will now unregister and reboot.

What went wrong? These two latest models are opening the transcoded version, not the actual picture! Forgive me that I didn't notice at first.

I didn't have any Unicode related problems with version 1, so I am not surprised that this version is without problems as well. My computer is running NTSF, so it is born with Unicode.

oh, yeah, the answer is often in the detail.

I clicked "Set this picture as new wallpaper" (on a picture that incl. `æøå) in order to check your question about Unicode. But when you do that, you have also told Windows you no longer are using Background > Slideshow, and then you don't need Next Background Picture (= the missing Næste skrivebordsbaggrund). Re-instate Background > Slideshow, and all is good. Not yet a problem of yours, but one day it may be.

You have absolutely nailed it, KodeZwerg! This is exactly what I was hoping for: A bare minimum doing minimum stuff the right way! Bravo!
KodeZwerg is no longer a zwerg, but a coder.

I have tested both 32 and 64, and they are both fine, but I am using the 64 version.

One minor thing: You should never use 7zip when you are going to enter other people's computer. Only use normal zip. This is not a safety related question or something, but simply a question about what people have as default. 7zip is not a default.

Thanks also to wraith808 and 4wd and 4wd for helping out.

My comment was about different subjects, but I didn't bother explain. The file names were all numbers, so I knew that wasn't the problem in my case. I also knew that no picture of mine ever came from Bing, so even though I have no idea why Bing potential could be a problem, I didn't try to understand that problem. The actual twenty pictures here are standard jpg pics from He Qi's site:


I have no words for how stupid this "attach" -system can make me feel. Where is my container?

Maybe it could be part of my desktop context menu? and from there* simply offer to Copy Full Path or To Open the picture right away, as a new step one+two? 
*there = "Desktop Background File Location":
-Curt (October 12, 2018, 12:55 AM)

Any icing on this cake would be, if it (the cake?) is part of my Desktop Context Menu
Futher more, it doesn't have to open Explorer  or  to copy the path  if it can have my image viewer (IrfanView) open the picture right away.
Well, that would be something like Send "Desktop Background File" To IrfanView.   If that is a genuine Send To...

-KodeZwerg (October 11, 2018, 06:18 PM)

^ Yes!
Really well done, KodeZwerg! In fact, so well done that I now have removed the winhelp version.  :up:

Would you care to work even more on this application? Right now it is doing what I asked for, but not in a specially helpful way. I mean, now, I would first have to go search for the program, then answer if I want to copy, then go to actually find the picture.

Maybe it could be part of my desktop context menu (see screnshot)? and from there* simply offer to Copy Full Path or To Open the picture right away, as a new step one+two? 

*there = "Desktop Background File Location":

sorry, if I sounded rude / too hasty, I was in the halftime of my fav' clubs' game.

Win 10 no longer uses bitmap, but transcoding. I guess your bitmap test was successful because Win 8 / 8.1 used to be installed; those ones used bmp. Mine has never had any thing younger older than Win 10, so "transcoding" is all that is needed here.

I am sorry this has become a problem. I was hoping it all would be be as easy as the Underscore project some hours ago.

eh, Yes, it does what I asked for, if it can do what it is suggesting... So far this demo does what I said it would do, it gives me the path to the TranscodedWallpaper. But we don't want that, because nobody knows what filename that has in real life, and here it is merely "TranscodedWallpaper". Are you saying you can make the finished app "translate" the word TranscodedWallpaper into the actual file name?

Remember that the TranscodedWallpaper file is a transcoded copy of one of the many picture files in the system folder Pictures. The answer to my request will include a filename from that folder.
In fact, the answer to my request will be a filename from that folder.

apparently not, for my RegEdit doesn't know of such address... I can follow you to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop, but none of the available choices include a picture filename.


As far as I can see, or can't see, Windows doesn't care about the filename, like in the old days when every wallpaper first was renamed to wallpaper.bmp, because the first action now is to rename and transcode the wallpaper: TranscodedWallpaper

C:\Users\%User%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Themes\CachedFiles

But nowhere did I find the actual file name.

Post New Requests Here / DONE: copy my wallpaper's full title
« Last post by Curt on October 10, 2018, 10:16 AM »
The wallpaper changer in Windows 10 (PC desktop version) is so good that I have stopped using any thing else. Sadly, it doesn't display any information! I really miss knowing the title / filename, so I know what to search for if anything should be changed. When would I know that? Yes, when I see the picture.

I am hoping for one or two features only. Maybe a keyboard shortcut, that will copy the address and filename of the relevant wallpaper "now". Or maybe an icon (in the tray) with a pop-up message when mouse pointed at.

^ yes, Shades, I kind of remember this. I was so disappointed with DO 8+9+9.5, that I don't even have the installers any more. It simply takes me far too long to understand how to use the program well. My copy of XYPlorer was too boring, compared to Explorer - yes, Explorer - but of course I can still have a change of mind, because of the generous lifetime key.
