If the function is simply meant to update, shouldn't you send it the already existing MyDesktop rather than create an entirely new one every time?

Some OC. It's what I use to mirror threads of interest to my drive.

I don't mean to be rude, OP, but this makes me cringe a little.

Sho'nuff. Basically it's two bash commands that load whenever I have a terminal open (always).

> 4get <url>

Example:
$ 4get >>6024938

The script grabs the images from that thread and puts them in ~/Pictures/dump/<thread-name>_<thread-num> like this:

$ find ~/Pictures/dump/programming-wallpapers_6024938
Pictures/dump/programming-wallpapers_6024938/
Pictures/dump/programming-wallpapers_6024938/sauce.txt
Pictures/dump/programming-wallpapers_6024938/1418539301342.jpg
Pictures/dump/programming-wallpapers_6024938/1418539521227.jpg
...

(those images are actually from a different thread because I'm not tracking this thread).

If you prefer, you could omit the thread name:

$ 4get >>6024938

You can do the same thread as many times as you want, it only downloads each image once.

Then, every so often I use the 4update command:

> 4update

This command just scans through those folders, reads "sauce.txt" from each and calls 4get on each url. Basically, this updates all your threads so you get the latest content without having to look (45 seconds? But I want it NOW!)

Output is like this:

$ 4update
-- Storing sauce
-- Grabbing images
File ‘Pictures/dump/_6020919/1418266050468.jpg’ already there; not retrieving.
File ‘Pictures/dump/_6020919/1418266112992.jpg’ already there; not retrieving.

This approach works for me because I do a two-pass wallpaper vetting process:
----------------
> Pass 1
Download anything I like even a little, but automagically sorted (via 4get/4update) into rough categories.
----------------
> Pass 2
After a few GB of WP have downloaded, I transfer the folders to a processing directory and run a script that eliminates dupes and near-dupes (that is, same image different resolution, image with minor alterations, etc.)

This pass treats the whole collection (including active walls) as a single repository, so I don't have to look at the same images again and again to decide. It always picks the better quality image (higher resolution wins) and asks me if it doesn't know which version to prefer.
----------------
> Pass 3
Every month or so I flip through the wallpapers and some make the cut into the folder that houses the active wallpapers, most don't. I also occasionally retire active wallpapers if I'm done with them (retire to a separate dir where they can be restored on the next cycle if I want).
----------------

Using multiple monitors. Every 10 seconds one of the monitors cycles, round-robin, so with 3 monitors, each wallpaper is up for 30 seconds.

Total investment for saving a batch of nice walls is 2 seconds (if I find a thread I like: copy url, 4get <paste>, forget it).
Total investment for promoting is
* 2 seconds (fire off a command to remove dupes, then do other stuff for 10 minutes)
* 10 minutes (spend some nice time looking through cool walls, deleting lame ones that were in a thread, promoting cool ones, keeping others unpromoted).

Also, my kids really enjoy all the variety and the fact that I can really easily switch between wallpaper sets ("Dad! Can we see a bunch of animals and mountains?" "Sure, ..." <10 seconds later> "There you go!") and they get great ambient visuals while playing portal on my computer or whatever.

Works for me =)

The stamp was from a feature that I retired from this version, but I'm tinkering with it still, so it doesn't make sense for my own purposes to get rid of it.

Huh, I just noticed that when I put a real URL into the text it parsed it as a link to that thread (https : / / boards.4chan.org/wg/thread/6024938 becomes https://boards.4chan.org/wg/thread/6024938)

Anyway, per the instructions, use the URL not a link, obviously.
