Description:

This ServiceMenu allows you to set images as Desktop Wallpaper/Background from within Dolphin's context menu. But to save you some disappointments here are some facts:
---
* Currently only one boring desktop/activity/monitor is supported , for other setups if it works for you, great, if not am sorry. People have reported that it didn't work on such setups.
* Widgets need to be unlocked, otherwise it won't work. Thanks @FraQu, see (1)
* Am neither a developer nor an expert on this area, just a "normal" user. Any Feature requests/Bugs should be directed to KDE bug tracker. See (1) and (2).
* Yes, I know it is s... but hey, if you know a better way, let us know :-)
* It's also true, more text here than features :-)
*Still reading? Nice! Here is how you can use it:
- Copy/move the downloaded file to ~/.local/share/kservices5/ServiceMenus/ (make that directory if it doesn't exist).
- Rightclick an image (png/jpeg/svg) and click "Set as Wallpaper".

Can you make this work for one monitor only? It changes wallpaper to every monitor

I really have no idea how to achieve that. This was thought as a temporary workaround till the linked issue is resolved by the KDE developers. See description.

I made a translation into the main languages ​​using a translation from microsoft (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/language/Search?&searchTerm=Set%20as%20desktop%20background&langID=412&Source=true&productid=526)
It would also be nice to put not on all monitors by default, but to offer a choice of monitor or monitors for which you need.

If you ever encounter "Could not find the program qdbus", open the *.desktop file and look for "Exec=" line and change "qdbus" to "qdbus-qt5".

You will be happy (or displeased) to know that on my mulit-monitor setup this service menu does absolutely nothing. And yes, I did unlock the widgets. At least it didn't do anything detrimental. Thanks for the effort.

Works perfect. Maybe will be nice to add the option to choose which desktop will change the wallpaper in the case of multiple monitors.
Thanks for your work

Not working until the desktop widgets are unlocked (Plasma 5.8).
For me... it's useless but it's good to see features that should be as default in DE.
Keep going :)
