CLI Tool for exporting Windows 10 Spotlight Images as Wallpapers
Project description
Windows 10 Spotlight Extractor
This application will scrape the windows spotlight assets folder for wallpapers. The folder is located at
%LOCALAPPDATA%/Packages/Microsoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager_cw5n1h2txyewy/LocalState/Assets
Once found the wallpapers will be copied into the Spotlight images directory. By default this is:
%USERPROFILE%/OneDrive/Pictures/Spotlight
The application will filter only for images larger than 1920 x 1080
Getting Started
Set the script to run on a schedule or just call using the CLI command spotlight
You should see an output similar to the following
[2019-12-26 19:37:40,819] [root] [root] - Copying Windows Spotlight Images Into C:\Users\jonat\OneDrive\Pictures\Spotlight
[2019-12-26 19:37:40,844] [root] [root] - Successfully Copied 3 files
Modify the Settings in C:\Users\jonat\AppData\Local\w10-spotlight-extractor\settings.ini
I recommend adding the following to the settings to silence the output under the LOGGING section CORRECT THE USERNAME FIRST!
file = C:\Users\jonat\AppData\Local\w10-spotlight-extractor\app.log
Installing
I Highly recommend using PIPX to install the spotlight extractor to ensure you do not run into issues with other environments and CLI apps installed using PIP
https://packaging.python.org/guides/installing-stand-alone-command-line-tools/
Install the spotlight extractor with pip into a Python3 Environment.
pip3 install windows-spotlight-extractor
