This update addresses an interesting bug I have never encountered before!
The bug, of all things, was caused by a photo's filename. Perspective was designed and coded to handle what is known as escaped filenames. You have probably seen escaped characters when surfing the web (such as %20) which replaces spaces.
I often queue up my Wallpaper Shortcut with over 39,000 images and let my software run 24/7. However, I noticed for no reason what-so-ever, it started to exit out. And by that, I mean it merely bailed with no crash indication or anything.
It turns out that one of the queued wallpaper images has a % in the filename. Not an escape character (which is properly handled), but rather part of a very descriptive filename.
The offending filename: 100%_Pure_Attention_Terrier_Mix.jpg (See below).
So to fix this issue, I now "clean" the filename by running it through a function which first handles Escaped Characters and then searches and replaces single '%' with double '%%.' This solution has addressed the problem and Perspective has been running continuously since July 3rd (swapping at computer's speed - no delay).
