Hello again.
I was testing the program with the command line output redirected to a .txt file.
I noticed that settimed has some kind of issue around the transitions. I use the mojave dynamic wallpaper. When the transition time is close, the wallpaper is changed from the current one (i.e. .../mojave/mojave_dynamic-0800.jpg ) to /tmp/_settimed.jpg which is the transition. After the transition time is completed, the wallpaper is changed, as it is supposed to be.
But in here, for some reason, the transition wallpaper selection is somehow wrong, and also the "after transition" wallpaper is wrong too.
Following the mojave-timed.xml (https://github.com/japamax/gnome-kde-dynamic-wallpaper-mojave/blob/master/mojave-timed.xml) instructions, i noticed that instead of changing to the next wallpaper, the program is ciclying to a later hour wallpaper (instead of 08:00, it goes to 10:00 or 11:00).
The command i am using is in my autostart script, and i made it to print the stdout to a file. With the help of extra/moreutils command ts, i had added timestamps to the logs, making them easier to follow:
settimed ~/Downloads/...../mojave/mojave-timed.xml | ts '[%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S]' >> wall-utils-log.txt
I think the issue might be related to the transitions because if i run pkill -USR1 settimed, the correct wallpaper is set (but after another change, the issue might arise again, and i would need to run this command again).
As you may already know, the pkill command is shown in the log as:
[2025-07-24 07:31:16] Received user defined signal 1
a diff between the original mojave-timed.xml file and the one i have, shows that the only difference between them is the path to the files(i have not installed the dynamic wallpaper, i call it from a folder in downloads).
I will add the logs as a text file. Here are some key notes:
[2025-07-24 07:15:31] --> Startup/boot time (the wallpaper should have been a transition between 07:00 and 08:00. Instead, it was 10:00 to 11:00
[2025-07-24 07:31:16] Received user defined signal 1 --> first pkil run, wallpaper set accordingly.
[2025-07-24 08:00:32] Received user defined signal 1 second pkil run.
Here is the log: wallutils-log-24jul.txt
As you already know, i could try quick changes with the PKGBUILD, even if those changes are commits or branches (and not in the git master branch).
