The `plasma-apply-wallpaperimage` command is a utility specifically designed for the KDE Plasma desktop environment. It allows users to programmatically set a wallpaper from the command line. This is particularly useful for scripting, automation, or applying wallpaper configurations across multiple systems or sessions. The command facilitates setting a single image as the wallpaper. It operates by interacting with the Plasma configuration system, modifying the settings responsible for the displayed wallpaper. The image path must be valid and accessible to the user executing the command. The command simplifies the process of changing wallpapers compared to manually navigating the system settings, especially when combined with other utilities for image manipulation or retrieval. Note: This command is specific to the KDE Plasma desktop environment, and will not function correctly under other desktop environments.

`plasma-apply-wallpaperimage /path/to/my/image.jpg`

Setting for a specific screen:
`plasma-apply-wallpaperimage --screen 1 /path/to/my/image.jpg`
