Using Windows 7 x64. Default option allows me to select all images in a directory and swap through them as wallpaper.
Does Ultramon have similar functionality? I thought it did (years ago) but would like that feature.

There's no built-in support for this, but you could do this with one of the ChangeWallpaper or UltraMon Wallpaper Auto Changer scripts.

Ok, I found the script and have tried running it. Seems to fall over trying to find a wallpaper folder. Script should be running
<![CDATA[
dirWps(0) = sh.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%APPDATA%\Realtime Soft\UltraMon\" & umVer & "\Wallpapers")
]]>
as I have a new clean install of 3.10. Only contents of the registry there are
<![CDATA[
(Default) (value not set)
Automatically Adjust Wallpaper 1
CurrentWallpaper Option1
ImageDirectory C:\users\Luke\pictures\Wallpapers_2560x1440
LegacyGameFix 1
]]>
It then looks like its trying the access the default value, which is not set, and add a trailing slash
<![CDATA[
If dirWps(i) <> "" Then
If Right(dirWps(i), 1) <> "\" Then dirWps(i) = dirWps(i) & "\"
If fso.FileExists(dirWps(i) & "UMWPAutoChanger.wallpaper") Or fso.FileExists(dirWps(i) & "Default.wallpaper") Then
wpFolder = dirWps(i)
Exit For
End If
End If]]>So, is the script borked for 3.10?

Version 2 of the UltraMon Wallpaper Auto Changer script will work fine with 3.1.0, but you'll need to have a wallpaper profile named Default set up, the script uses this to create the initial configuration (you could then delete the Default profile again).
In the Default profile, select an image from the folder you want to use for each monitor, for example you could show images from folder A on monitor 1, folder B on monitor 2, etc.

After creating a profile called Default, the script started to work :)
I finally found the config file in
<![CDATA[
C:\Users\Luke\AppData\Roaming\Realtime Soft\UltraMon\3.1.0\Wallpapers
]]>
after reading through the forum on the script.
The script was switching, but each monitor was showing the same image. I wanted to point each monitor at different directories.
In the end, my config looks like this
<![CDATA[
1,00:01:00,Sequential,C:\Users\Luke\Pictures\Wallpapers_2560x1440\
2,00:01:00,Sequential,C:\Users\Luke\Pictures\Wallpapers_1920x1080\
]]>
My 1 and 2 monitors had the img diretory swapped around, as 1 does not necessarily mean default (grr)
Thankyou for to Christian for the help :)
