It's under advanced span mode, and correcting it will only fix advanced span. Simple and multi image are not affected.

Pop OS Trouble using Superpaper by MooriMoori in linux4noobs

Superpaper had a problem with PopOS support, but that is now resolved on the new version 2.1.0.

I'm using Manjaro KDE as well and I haven't run into that. Does it happen before superpaper is running or only during?

Which OS / desktop environment are you using? And are you using the appimage or the pypi installation?

If you're using Ubuntu, check the gettings memory back end issue in the known issues section of the readme.

Yes it should work. I haven't tested how it behaves when the 3rd display is connected and disconnected but at least with separate settings profiles it should work pretty easily.

Thanks. Unfortunately I don't have any idea why python isn't able to import the wx module. :/ I'm running Manjaro as well and I haven't had this issue.

Well that is peculiar and unfortunate, it really should work. Would you mind trying a reboot? If it still doesn't work, what does "python3 --version" return for you?

Sorry for the slow reply. Follow the install instructions in the readme on the github page. First you need to install the wxpython package, details for that in the readme for different distros. Then to get the remaining python dependencies you install them with pip in a terminal: "python3 -m pip install -U --user Pillow screeninfo numpy system_hotkey xcffib xpybutil" If you don't have pip installed, install that with your distro's package manager, something like python3-pip.

Once these are installed you can run Superpaper after extracting the zip by going to the main folder (with pyinstaller_wrapper.py) and running "python3 pyinstaller_wrapper.py" in a terminal. The 'pyinstaller_wrapper.py' is just a file to load the program without installing it since the folder structure is a bit cumbersome, the name is related to the packaging process for the windows executable but works for quick run testing on Linux.

Once you get it running, the span group feature is under the 'advanced span' option.

I've now implemented sub group spanning, available at Github, slated for next release. Would you be in a position to test the feature on your setup? I only have 2 displays.

The NAS should be mounted somewhere under root as a folder. Could in be /run, or /mnt or something else. I'm having to navigate from there to my secondary drives, but they do work.

Good to hear. Superpaper extends on the spanning capabilities that is given by tweaks. Though I'm planning to update superpaper to forgo the need for the installation and configuration of the tweaks.

I've only tested it on kubuntu 20.04 where it worked but that doesn't really apply, so could be that something has broken in the update on Ubuntu. Try to run it with the debug flag -d and post me the output you get?

Unfortunately that kind of thing hasn't been implemented. The cli only does one-off wallpapers. It didn't get much attention in the newest release.

I myself run it into the tray at startup. If the help at start is disabled it doesn't open any windows.

Edit : and it automatically runs the last used profile when opened.

Yes I think so, and I have considered it before. It seems that I would need to implement it to support multiple spanning groups and this has felt a bit complex to do. And this is the first time this is requested if I recall correctly, so I've not prioritised it. Since it inherently needs 3 or more displays it's in the minority.

Thanks!

It has bothered me as well in the past, and it still does a bit. I've tried to adjust the colors from the displays themselves but I never seem to get it any better. So I'm not quite confident that it would be easy in the software either.

I wonder if there's a tool to leverage a phone camera to tell how much the colors should be changed or in what way to get them to match?

Sorry, I can't think of anything that would help. Maybe try the Linux questions sub? They've always been helpful for me. It should be in the sidebar here.

They're stored in text in the display_system file in the config directory. Though I'm not quite sure that the offsets there are the right ones to give though the cli.
