Spews : about the automatic switch delay

[ConstanceJill]

Hi there .o/

I've noticed something: I recently set the automatic wallpaper switching delay to 240 hours, but after exiting the program and starting it again, I see it has been set to 100 hours instead of the 240 I had chosen.

I guess it's a limit that has been set on purpose (?)
Anyway, would it be possible to let the user also choose "days" for the time delay unit?

Also, I just tested (with version 1.0.8) and setting the delay to 0 seconds just makes it switch wallpapers very quickly (as fast as it can, I guess). Would it be possible to make it so that when set to 0 seconds, it disables automatic switching (while still letting the user manually switch with the previous/next wallpaper hotkeys, and/or keeping the switch at startup)?


Note: made a new thread because of the message about the original thread's last reply being more than 360 days old.

Hi, ConstanceJill.  Nice to hear from you again.

Actually, no.  That just happened to be the default for that UpDown control.  I've changed it to 1-9999 in the latest release.

Anyway, would it be possible to let the user also choose "days" for the time delay unit?

Added in the latest release as well.

Also, I just tested (with version 1.0. and setting the delay to 0 seconds just makes it switch wallpapers very quickly (as fast as it can, I guess). Would it be possible to make it so that when set to 0 seconds, it disables automatic switching (while still letting the user manually switch with the previous/next wallpaper hotkeys, and/or keeping the switch at startup)?

The hotkeys should be active even if the "Start wallpaper switching" button hasn't been pressed.  Are they not working for you?

Wowl that was quick! Thanks \o/

I only thought about not pressing the "Start wallpaper switching" several hours after posting, before falling asleep ^^' ... I guess it should do the job indeed :]

You are very welcome.     That should have been in Spews from the start.
