windows-shobjidl example gives no output

[phanirithvij]

I tried running your example cargo run --example wallpaper-shobjidl it gave no output.

 cargo run --example wallpaper-shobjidl
    Finished dev [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 0.05s
     Running `D:\Projects\fun\experiments\wallpaper-rs\target\debug\examples\wallpaper-shobjidl.exe`

The other one is working cargo run --example wallpaper-user32 which gave the wallpaper path.

I'll look into it. There's been quite a lot of turbulence with this project some time ago, and I didn't manage to revisit it yet.

Works on my end:

$ cargo run --example  wallpaper-shobjidl
    Finished dev [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 0.06s
     Running `C:\Users\MOZGIII\Desktop\wallpaper-rs\target\debug\examples\wallpaper-shobjidl.exe`
C:\Users\MOZGIII\AppData\Local\Temp\bm6yqr.jpg

I wonder what could be causing this. Maybe the Windows API does return an empty result?

[MOZGIII]

It might just be the behavior of Windows API. For me both examples work consistently.
Can you try setting the wallpaper via one of the examples and then cargo run --example wallpaper-shobjidl again?

When using the SlideShow option wallpaper-shobjidl doesn't work.
It works with single images.

I have a cpp implementation to get the wallpaper using IDesktopWallpaper if that can help you debug if you're able to replicate this issue.

Please provide a step-by-step guide to reproduce the issue if you know what's causing it.
