FAQ
Q: Why does it ask for a permission when setting a desktop wallpaper?
A: If you haven't granted Raycast the permission to change your desktop wallpaper, this extension will ask for it once.
Q: Where does it save the downloaded images?
A: It uses your Application Support directory, which should be at ~/Library/Application Support/com.raycast.macos/extensions/unsplash/.
Q: I set "Download Size" option to a different value but it's always downloading the same images!
A: Well, if Unsplash doesn't return an image URL for the value you selected, or if it returns the same image for all values, the extension simply downloads it. If it's not found, extension will fallback to another value.
Q: Couldn't set the wallpaper using "Set Random Wallpaper" because I rejected the permission request!
A: If you accidentally rejected the initial permission request window, or didn't realize it was from this extension, you'll have to go to your System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Automation and grant/tick the System Events permission to Raycast.
