I'm so glad this exists as well. I loved wallpaper engine when I was still using Windows.

This doesn't seem to work for me:

@Steinhagen Actually i do receive this issue too every time i run the pkg, but it works just fine. The problem is that you are just running it without passing any args. Try installing it with nix profile install just like i did and then run it as:
linux-wallpaperengine <workshop_id>

I know this one from frieren works for sure:

Is steam and wallpaper engine installed?

I was under the impression that this is now a standalone app and doesn't rely on steam anymore (I haven't used the app in a few years).
I will correctly setup up wallpaperengine on steam and give this another try. Thanks and sorry for the confusion.

[Steinhagen]

@aucub Maybe it's something that I'm messing up, but do you know why this is failing?

P.S.: The app was installed using: nix shell github:aucub/nixpkgs/linux-wallpaperengine#linux-wallpaperengine

After properly starting the wallpaper engine and subscribing to the desired asset, linux-wallpaperengine <workshop_id> works as expected. This was a problem with the way I was using it.
Other than that, the code looks good and the vulnerability was removed. LGTM.
