Hello folks,
I like to have different wallpapers on each monitor and having them changing regularly. And I also wanted to have 3 or 4 differents sets and easily switch between them (basically : landscapes when I've guests and chicks when I'm alone :-) )
Previously I used a VBS script found on this forum and a batch file which move files between two folders.
But I learned how to design nice softwares with C++/Qt so I created my own.
With the help of a friend and this topic http://www.realtimesoft.com/multimon/forum/messages.asp?Topic=2067 I created a little tool nicely called "UMWP Autochanger".
The first test version (1.0 alpha1) is available for download on my website :
UMWP_Autochanger_1.0-alpha1.zip
please read the the readme file before using it.
Important note :
I only have my developpement environnement to do tests, which mean the tool was only tested on Windows 7 x64 with UltraMon 3.2.1 (should work with 3.2.2 too).
I don't know if it works on XP/Vista/Windows 8 and if not I'll not fix it unless for Windows 8 (if I take time to create a dual-boot).
Don't hesitate to report any bugs or remarks, here or on the contact page of my website : http://www.strangeplanet.fr/#6
Have a nice day.
Mistic.

I released 1.3 today
The big news is the support of "one image for the whole desktop" mode : after adding a new set, double-click on it to change the type of wallpaper.
Yes ! you can mix "monitor" and "desktop" sets :-)
Also a note about 1.2 released in September : I added system wide hotkeys to change the current set without oppening the application window, and ability to reorder sets by drag&drop.
