@Pertelectrical / @alaa777 Wow, It actually means a lot that you guys came and asked for this after all these years.

I'll look into this. Maybe we can have a release of Pulse after so many years.

[alaa777]

wow thank you so much
your app is the best wallpaper app i have ever used

[patricker]

I have a working alpha with Wallhaven working. The developers were really kind and included a honest to goodness API for people like me to call. Let me get it into a beta level stability wise and I'll post a link to a build here.

[alaa777]

Great thank you so much :D

[patricker]

Here is a beta. I dropped the other providers for now, as they need some testing after all these years.

Remember that sometimes Windows Blocks exe's downloaded from the internet zip files, I used to have a wiki article on CodePlex. Right click the zip file after downloading and check for an Unblock button before unzipping.

[alaa777]

Ok great thanks i will tray it and report any issues :D

What were your search settings? I don't know if I've tested api key beyond NSFW searches. I don't think I've implemented favorite/collection...

[Pertelectrical]

same i got this error

Pulse_20190818.txt

[alaa777]

i noticed i get the error when i change the resolution of the image size

[alaa777]

yes 100% when i change the resolution

[patricker]

As a quick test, can you disable "Check for new versions on startup"? @Pertelectrical, I see in your log that it's failing because Codeplex basically doesn't exist anymore, and the code is still checking Codeplex for a new version... I'll take that out in the next version.

@alaa777 Are you setting "Image Size" to blank, or just clearing out the resolution? I found a bug yesterday where setting Image Size to blank would cause a crash, and have fixed it in my local code.

[alaa777]

not to blank when i change it to match my laptop resolution with the "at least " option

[alaa777]

any updates?

[Pertelectrical]

you are done with this project for good?
just to stop checking i have been checking for years XD

[patricker]

@Pertelectrical no, not at all. I'm working on changes based on feedback, but I have limited free time to work on Pulse. (Full time job/family) I will post another beta soon.

[Pertelectrical]

yeah i understand just checking and thanks :D

[Pertelectrical]

currently its working with the default setting any changes makes it unstable
and some times it just stops working and after restarting it 3 or 4 times it start working again

[alaa777]

Same

[alaa777]

some how it just stopped working "not downloading any new wallpapers"

[patricker]

@alaa777 In the Pulse directory there is a log folder. Do you see any errors in the latest log file? If you are comfortable uploading the log file, that would be helpful too.

[alaa777]

Pulse_20200204.txt
this is the latest one but this bug is not triggering an exception its just no images being downloaded
i will try change the setting maybe there are no images that match the setting but i doubt it since i haven't change the settings since its started working

[alaa777]

New Text Document.txt

[patricker]

@alaa777 Thanks for your help in testing these changes. It's working for me, but I think my version has some changes. I've zipped up a fresh build: https://www.dropbox.com/s/amcti27l4w3imv1/Pulse.zip?dl=0

[alaa777]

thank you so much :D

[alaa777]

Exact same error
error.txt

[alaa777]

another one
error2.txt

[patricker]

With the zip I sent you, here is how I tested it:

1. Launch pulse.exe
2. Opened Options
3. Clicked the Add button next to Wallhaven
4. Clicked Save, wallpaper downloaded and was set on my desktop.

Can you restart from scratch and see if this basic test works?

[alaa777]

i can't because the error keeps interrupting me i keep clicking continue but the error message just appears again

[alaa777]

not working.zip

[patricker]

@alaa777 I remember maybe Windows was blocking the zip last time?

Remember that sometimes Windows Blocks exe's downloaded from the internet zip files, I used to have a wiki article on CodePlex. Right click the zip file after downloading and check for an Unblock button before unzipping.

Pictures: https://singularlabs.com/tips/how-to-unblock-a-zip-file-on-windows-10/

See if this is relevant.

[alaa777]

Lol wtf i never knew that was a thing at all sry i said wtf but that is so strange lol it worked XD
thanks

[alaa777]
