Pause when Steam VR is running option.

[Nexxus]

So I have a GTX1070, I usually leave wallpaper engine running when gaming cause im on a triple screen setup and I got power to spare.

But when using my vive there is an issue. It is very hard for me to run in certain things. And when the display is mirrored to my TV the windows are seldom fullscreening. So I dont think wallpaper engine is pausing unless I manually do it before hand, if I dont its kinda a pain in the ass to do so in VR.

So can we get either a pause when steam VR is running option or even a way to add a list of exes where wallpaper engine pauses itself when said exes window is active?

Can you share the log.txt from C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\wallpaper_engine\log.txt on www.pastebin.com ?

There will be a list .exe files to edit, maybe I can also detect the vive and oculus directly but I don't know yet. The log should show all monitors, so maybe there is a way to tell when a VR device is in use.

I assume that I would need to get the log while Steam VR is running? Also I dunno if it would effect it, but at least with the Vive (dunno about oculus) Windows doesnt see it as a typical display/monitor

As I play alot in VR I think I'm just going to delete and refund Wallpaper Engine as it's just more effort than it's worth :(

The program has application rules now, you can make it pause when SteamVR or anything similar is open in there.
