Wallch

What is a "wallch album"?

Asked by Phil Wolff

The man page defines the command line format as "wallch [options/wallch album]", but there is no further mention of how to create a "wallch album" or pass one to the program. Can anyone please clarify this?

Hello Adiabat, you can create a Wallch album by Clicking File->Save images as a wallch album

Then, after you create such an album you can import it to the program by dropping it into, or double clicking the wallch album file.

Hope I helped :)

I'm looking specifically for the command line solution as indicated by the man page. If the only way is via the GUI, the man page is misleading and needs to be clarified.

Adiabat, you cannot create a wallch album from the command line using the 'wallch' command.

On the other hand, if you mean you want to import a wallch album from the command line, then you just pass it as the 1st argument.
Example:
wallch "/path/to/album.wallch"

Before I posted the original question, I tried

        wallch --constant <path>

and got the response

        Error! Argument '--constant' doesn't need any other options.

So does your answer mean that specifying an album can't be combined with any option? In that case, the man page should read

        wallch [options | wallch option]

with a '|' instead of a '/'.

I'm going to mark this as 'Solved', but I think the man page needs some work. (Yes, since I am one, I know that real progammers don't write documentation!)

programmers.

Real programmers don't run spell-checkers, either.

Heh, Adiabat, anyways, thanks for the info, we are going to try to fix the man page (we aren't experts on this, sorry :P).
