Hi ! I check this later. I have just a question: do you have many wallpaper in wallpaper engine ?

@Tadomika-Ari
Hi, oh yeah i've got like 200 wallpapers

@BuschR7tbl3
Hi again, OK. I think it’s the W engine trying to load all the wallpapers, and that 200 is too many for the plugin, which causes it to crash. I’m planning to create a list of pages (for example: 50 wallpapers per page) and I should have it sorted within a week.
