An idea about wallpaper management
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
Hello! I have an idea about desktop background settings for KDE: wallpaper groups in Control Panel! (a few weeks ago it was added to kde-usability lists)
There are some desktop programs like this on Windows platforms, but not in control panel. It will be cool if it comes with KControl. Also it will be more usable. Wallpaper management will be easy. Groups can be easily created by using directories. Of course this will be easy to manage groups manually.
Perhaps in the future www.kde-look.org can be rearranged to manage and download wallpapers under groups. (may be groupped ten by ten, then zipped to allow fast downloads)
A small problem:
I don't know programming and of course I won't do anything about my idea.
We're looking for a volunteer! :)
Bye!

This dialog is for only local files. A choice may be added that allows to connect wallpaper database on web. Or an application or a new KControl module can be developed for this purpose.

The only thing that bothers me is:
I often visit www.kde-look.org and I run an eye over great works of kde artists and I read comments. But I never see a kde-developers' comment that says "that's good, let's use it in upcoming versions" or "no, it's not easy to code it" or "we didn't like it"
Now, I'm asking: "Do KDE guys visit this page?"
