Anybody can tell me where the SPB MS and Samsung Today (TouchWiz? I don't know which is which) stores the wallpapers? I want to put these in the program too.

SPB Mobile Shell read from a configuration file the background, and if you change it, SPB has to "restart"... so I suppose is not so easy... Read this:

For samsung "work-business" today: same difficult see:

With 1.1 this is still not working for me.  I can select in the directories but as soon as I get to the last directory, where the files are that I want, I get "DirectoryNotFoundException".  However, I can select a different directory fine.  I don't know what is the difference.  The one I can select is "\My Storage\My Pictures\WVGA\Portrait" and the one that causes the crash is "\My Storage\My Pictures\Today Backgrounds".  They both have a combination of .jpg and .png files.  Any ideas?  Would you like the log?

i had the same error it seems this is the case if you had 1.03 installed. What i did to fix it was disable the app changed wallpaper in sense manually re enabled app took it of sense and just checked and unchecked everything one by one and it seems to have stopped my errors. But i have noticed a increase of white backgrounds since 1.1 may go back to 1.03. Or Rapid maybe you know a way to make the white squares into black squares (yes i know error inn 6.5.3), everything gets so much harder to read on a white background and black everything seems fine so if that could change i would not mind them as much.

When did you get the error? When you check the checkbox or when you want to save the list?

When I attempt to save the list

Then something is wrong with the directory. The name or the contents, I don't know. When you save the list, the program checks the contents of it for picture files. The error means, the program cannot change the current dir to that directory.

I'm working on the 1.2 (not beta) version. Lots of new settings and different setting interface.

I updated the cab. Now the "Change only in idle state" is stays checked.

When you save the Settings and you checked the "Start with Windows", then the application is create the shortcut in \Windows\StartUp folder. Something is wrong with that folder in your phone. Because I check the existance of the lnk before delete, and before creating it too and only if it's not exists, then create it, and only if it's exist, then delete it..

I've found the question... I've no "windows\startup" folder.
I've "windows\esecuzione automatica" folder (Italian original samsung rom)...
This should be the issue... I've create "your desired folder" and all is ok! Then I've manually cut-paste the link in mine right folder...

Why the MS change something like this?    This folder needs to be an "universal" folder in all language.

Ok. I found it: HKLM\System\Explorer\Shell Folders\StartUp

I'll update the cab soon.

Updated.

1.03 added. Changelog in first post.
I'm doing it in VB.NET in VS2008. But Thanx!

This is a GREAT utility. One feature that can be added - fit the picture chosen to the screen when you set it as lock screen from Photos app. Can that be done? I have some good big wallpapers and they are only seen in partial (due to resolution difference).

I'll try to figure out a method, but it's a difficult thing to create the resizing method, due to the possible difference in ratios (4:3, 16:9, etc.). If I'm not note this ratio, the resized picture will distorted.

Other:
The CHT 1.8.X compatible version almost done. The new version will change the portrait wallpapers only at the moment. I'm working on a way to select different directories to portrait and landscape wallpapers, but I have no idea for it right now.
