I prepared a sequence of several images beforehand, using Time, with the order: 0:00, 0:05, 0:10, ..., 23:55. However, some of the images are then skipped at times; for example, when it is 13:00, the image set to 14:00 will be shown instead and not change for a while.

Images were stored in: https://macintoshfan.com/other/ (Note that the link may be invalid in the future)

What I'm not sure about is if it is a bug to do with dynamic desktops in general; however, using Dynaper (closed-source code), it doesn't seem to have this bug for some reason.

NOTE: I'm in an area with bad internet, so I'll next be able to send the images in a few days.

When I add 96 images using the Time option, it adds them all just fine, but the times in different images conflict, meaning the images in the sequence are: 12 AM, 1 AM, 2 AM, ..., 11 PM, 12 AM, 1 AM, etc..

Add an option to automatically separate the times for the images, such as every 15 mins in my case (96 images).

Hello @rlxone I really think Equinox is a good idea and I wanted to contribute. I've setup the project for localization and added a french translation (my second tongue). I see version 1.1 is in the works, do you prefer localizations to be merged directly into main or version1.1 branches ? Regards

Good morning,

I tried (multiple times) to use Equinox to create a simple dynamic wallpaper using the "Time" feature. It should show a wallpaper from 00 until 12 AM and then another from 12AM to 00, but it's stuck on one of the two. I was wondering if something has changed in MacOS Monterey such that the dynamical wallpapers don't work anymore (even if it's still recognised as dynamical )

Thank you

Hey @rlxone Going through Equinox, the help menu felt empty so I looked at what other apps are doing. Help menus seem to mainly contain links to the web or Apple macOS help books (which seem outdated). So I rounded up a first batch of interesting links and added them to the helpMenu

What do you think ? Would you add/remove anything ?

If we go ahead with this I'll update the FR localization in this branch once we've finalized the help menu.

This is also great in helping me to get a first understanding of how AppKit works.

Regards

Hey! I can't resize the calculator window which opened this way by default.

I'm running macOS Monterey 12.1 (21C52) on a Macbook Air M1.

btw, your project is amazing, congrats!

My Mac runs macOS Mojave (18G9323). After downloading Equinox from the Mac App Store, it crashes on launch with the following error message in Console:

2021-11-25 01:51:52.819 Equinox[10238:1025170] No Info.plist file in application bundle or no NSPrincipalClass in the Info.plist file, exiting

If I edit Info.plist and add the following key-value pair and re-sign the Equinox app, it launches as expected:

<key>NSPrincipalClass</key>
<string>NSApplication</string>

Can you please update the app to include the key-value pair above by default?

My first instinct coming to this repo was to click on the icon (which is very pretty btw), but it unfortunately only led to the file in the repo.

It should probably lead to the website when clicked.

EDIT: absolutely stunning looking app, website and logo, huge props. App works perfect as well. Fantastic job.

Hi,

I'm wondering if it would be possible to add a button to automatically transfer the values from the Calculator to the "currently selected image" when creating a Solar wallpaper. Currently, the values must be copied and pasted manually, which can be time consuming with a large number of images. The proposed button would automatically transfer the values in the calculator to the "currently selected" image in the main window.

Thanks!

I have created a dynamic wallpaper using this app and the Solar option, using the calculator, but sometimes the images are displayed out of order on macOS Ventura.

I have recreated it again with the latest version of the app and it appears a similar problem still exists. When it is morning (usually near noon), one of the images (first sunset-ty image) is displayed, and the rest are displayed correctly.

This is a link to the created file: https://files.catbox.moe/2dpl49.heic

Thanks!

I am making a custom dynamic desktop, but with lots of images. Navigating with lots of them is not super quick, but would be easily fixed with a scroll bar added.

Hi, In order to add future editing and improve managing of wallpapers maybe Equinox could have a list view of dynamic wallpapers. Ideally this would have the following features :

• Import/Export
• Sorting & filtering
• Link to wallpaper editing, issue #18
• Apply, duplicate, delete wallpaper
• Customisable storage folder path
• Integration with macOS wallpaper folder/settings ?
• Wallpaper previews

This library should be complementary to macOS wallpaper settings, full remplacement might not be feasible.

The library could be in a sidebar, a separate window, or just from the initial window (a bit like Xcode does for recent projects).

This would need to be divided up as it represents a lot of functionality. What would be needed for a minimum POC ?

Any thoughts ? Ideas ?

While this program is amazing for creating HEICs! ...it would be a nice feature to be able to open an existing dynamic HEIC file and change its properties (e.g. Azimuth, Altitude, which image is set to be the thumbnail, etc...)
