Problem or Use Case
I have a large collection of high-resolution images tailored for my triple-monitor setup. Currently, SpreadPaper requires manual selection for each image. I am looking for a "set and forget" automation layer that can treat a local directory as a wallpaper playlist. This would allow for a dynamic workspace that provides the right amount of visual stimulation without requiring manual intervention during my creative workflow.
Proposed Solution
I suggest adding a "Folder Mode" to the interface with the following core features:
- Folder Selection: A way to designate a source directory for the app to monitor.
- Rotation Logic: Options for Sequential (sortable) or Shuffle playback.
- Timer Interval: A user-defined frequency for automatic switching (similar to macOS's native wallpaper shuffle).
- Manual Skip: A "Next" button or global hotkey to manually skip to the next image in the queue when a quick change is desired.
Final Thought:
Even a simple time-based automation would be a massive upgrade. It transforms SpreadPaper from a manual utility into a powerful environment engine.
