Make sure to fully close Wallpaper Engine when updating. If you're having issues, try verifying the files over Steam first.
Hey everyone,
An update for Wallpaper Engine has been released that will make it possible to select custom images or whole directories with images to be shown inside a web wallpaper! This means that you can build custom image slideshows now or simply create cool things with JavaScript ontop of everyone's favorite backgrounds.
Check out this new tutorial to learn how you can build a web wallpaper with support for customizable images:

A few other improvements have found their way in, including improved behavior for audio responsive wallpapers, the 50 FPS limit from the UI is gone and wallpapers you selected locally (for example video files) will now show up better in the browser with the ability to change their properties (like volume and scheme color)! Also, you can now more easily delete your projects from the editor open file menu.
The next patch will fix wallpapers pausing with maximized/fullscreen windows on multiple monitors and possibly some more usability improvements and fixes that have been requested (which I still need to do more reseach on).
Fixes
- Fixed properties with single quotes to be escaped improperly and causing the UI to not show any properties.
- Fixed most FFT inconsistencies for different hardware settings and used a fixed range with up to about 22khz.
- Fixed web wallpaper render process silently crashing if being closed with an audio wallpaper active.
- Fixed local wallpaper files not showing & saving any properties.
- Attempted to fix auto start with high priority (although I can't speed it up much if the hardware doesn't allow it, but now it may at least be more reliable when it takes longer).
- Attempted to improve pausing with certain full-screen games.
Misc
- Added file and directory selection to wallpaper browser.
- Implemented custom file/directory import system in web wallpaper.
- Added full-screen GIF hack (open from file, all document types) unfortunately it performs terribly (it's just using Chromium).
- Made max FPS dependent on max refresh rate of the system.
- Made it possible to delete wallpaper projects in the editor.
- Added icons to volume/playback rate and audio recording controls.
- Enabled audio of video wallpapers in the editor.
- Added options for video looping which may help in some cases to improve the smoothness of loops.
