[BUG] Can't select wallpaper from the settings app

[ajboni]

Describe the bug

It just does not open. If I run it via the cli, I get this error when I click on the "Set wallpaper" Button

 ~  com.ml4w.sidebar                                                                                                                                           08:56:23
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/waypaper", line 5, in <module>
    from waypaper.__main__ import run
  File "/usr/lib/python3.13/site-packages/waypaper/__main__.py", line 10, in <module>
    from waypaper.app import App
  File "/usr/lib/python3.13/site-packages/waypaper/app.py", line 9, in <module>
    import screeninfo
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'screeninfo'

sounds like a missing dependency.

Steps to reproduce

com.ml4w.sidebar -> Open the sidebar -> click on set wallpaper.

Can you check that screeninfo is installed with sudo pacman -S python-screeninfo

[ajboni]

Its on the AUR it seems:

  yay screeninfo                                                                                                                                 149ms  14:44:34

I ran into the same problem. Reinstalling waypaper fixed it for me:

sudo pacman -Rns waypaper
yay -S waypaper

I had the same problem. Reinstalling waypaper and running ml4w-hyprland-setup didn't work for me either but I was able to fix mine by reinstalling python-screeninfo with yay -S python-screeninfo

Ah that did the trick for me as well! I now can also use the "set wallpaper" button on the mlfw settings app. Thanks!
