I agree, it has to be some kind of wildcard to randomly go through all the PNG files in one folder. I tried *, but that didn't work. I'll take a look through the script that the .conkyrc pulls from and see if I can figure it out. Coding is my weakest computer knowledge ability, but I'll try
Edited to add: Looks like it's just pulling the one picture based off the IMAGE tag, and it's not running the program. Here's the code as it shows up in the conky if anybody can chime in:
Code: Select all
${execi 240 ~/.conkycolors/bin/conkyPhotoRandom}${image /home/mastery/Pictures/Conky/harley.png -s 220x150 -p 10,610}
So, apparently the program isn't configured right at all. So, back to square one. I had the image at /tmp/conkyPhoto.png as was originally listed in the code, but it didn't work at all. Guess I need a first-grade level of a walk through of getting this to work if anybody would be willing to walk me through the steps.
