Hello there, 

For reasons I can't figure out, the Multi-Monitor Wallpaper app keeps adding folders/files to the 'rendered' folder within the file structure of the app. I am constantly having to manually delete these files to keep from filling my HD to full. 

I've got three monitors so love the app and all that it does, but I can't figure out how to make it stop doing this one thing. Any thoughts on how to keep this from happening?

Hi K,

I have had some issues for a while with those rendered files building up. 
The app tries to read the wallpaper database to figure out which ones are in use (you probably got a permission request for that) - but it's not working great.

various things trigger re-rendering, particularly settings to reapply when you change spaces

I haven't had time to sort this out for a while, so I don't know when it will be right.

sorry

I am just cleaning out the rendered folder every once in a while, so all is good. I appreciate the app a bunch.

Hello, is there an update coming to this app? It just gets buggier as new versions of macos come out. 

I love the app and hope to continue using it.

Is there any update on this? My app container ballooned to over 100Gb and crashed my Mac!
