If used before or after wal -i (in a script or manually), animation freezes mid-transition

I am trying to make a wallpaper-change bash script, and every time i try to pair two commands in any way (inside bash script, using -o of pywal, just pairing them through &&), wallpaper animation freezes mid-way (with random timing).

I don't know for certain if its an issue on my side or a bug sadly.

Example situation:

swww img $1 ///or the other way around
wal -q -i $1

swww img $1 && wal -q -i $1

wal -q -i /home/user/.dotfiles/wallpapers/wallpaper.png && swww img /home/user/.dotfiles/wallpapers/wallpaper.png

Are you trying this on the latest git version or the latest release?

[tka4nik]

Yep, works on release 0.9.5, doesn't work on current master, thanks!

This is really weird. I assume just setting the wallpaper without using wal just works?

[tka4nik]

Yeah, works fine both from shell script and manually if used without wal
