Fetch local background every new tab

[Cyliann]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I set my background to a local file that is a soft link (linux) excpecting it to update whenever I update what the link points to, but sadly that's not the case. I guess Bonjourr caches the image somewhere.
My use case is that the link points to my current wallpaper, so I wanted Bonjourr to update the background accordingly.

Describe the solution you'd like
Every time I open a new tab the file is re-fetched to update the image.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Somehow programmatically change the background?

Hi @Cyliann, something similar will be possible in the next update! You'll be able to add a list of distant URLs for your backgrounds.

This is not exactly what you mean, but we have to keep a really long cache control for performance reasons. What you could do is copy paste the same URL as many times you want, and simply add a different search query for each URL like this:

http://localhost:8080/your-image.jpg?n=1
http://localhost:8080/your-image.jpg?n=2
http://localhost:8080/your-image.jpg?n=3
http://localhost:8080/your-image.jpg?n=4

I just realized that you meant a file path and not a local server. I'm not sure it will be possible without a local http server, but we might be able to use the browser's file system API 🤔
