# This script selects a random image from a directory and sets it as a
# wallpaper. An additional feature is that it draws the path of the image in
# the lower left corner which makes it easier to find the image later.
#
# The procedure is as follows::
# * Select a random image from a directory (recursively entering all
# subdirectories)
# * Print the path of the image as an overlay on top of the selected image
# * Save the result in a temporary file
# * Set the temporary image as a wallpaper.
#
# !! Requires `WALLPAPER_DIR` and `TMP_DIR` environment variables to be set !!
# (or just hardcode your own paths below)
#
# Dependencies;
# * nu version >0.25.1 (0.25.1. doesn't work due to coercion error bug)
# * feh
# * imagemagick

# Path definitions
let img_dir = $nu.env.WALLPAPER_DIR
let tmp_image = $(build-string $nu.env.TMP_DIR "/wallpaper.jpg")

# Monitor resolution
let resolution_y = 1440

# Position of the caption
let pos_x = 5
let pos_y = 0.995 * $resolution_y

# Helper commands
def select_random [] { shuffle | first }

# List all images in a directory and all its subdirectories
def list_images [dir] {
ls $(build-string $dir /**/*) | where type == File | where name =~ jpg || name =~ jpeg || name =~ tif || name =~ tiff
}

# Set the caption text (just filename for now)
def caption [img_f] {
echo $img_f
}

# Build the argument for the '-draw' command of the 'convert' utility
def draw_str [img_f] {
build-string 'text ' $pos_x ',' $pos_y ' "' $(caption $img_f) '" '
}

# Select random image
let img_name = $(list_images $img_dir | select_random | get name)

# Resize the image to the monitor height, draw the caption and save it
let res_str = $(build-string 'x' $resolution_y)
convert -resize $res_str -pointsize 15 -fill "rgb(255,200,150)" -draw $(draw_str $img_name) $img_name $tmp_image

# Set the created image as a background
feh --no-fehbg --bg-max $tmp_image
