Description
Describe the bug
The extension is unable to download images anymore (I am guessing that parsing API response from the Bing site is the problem; perhaps something is not working reliably there).
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Log into gnome shell.
- Click on the extension menu in the top bar.
- Click 'refresh now'.
- The image is not refreshed and an error notification is shown (see the screenshot above).
Desktop:
- OS: Arch Linux (kernel 6.6.54-1-lts)
- Extension Version: 50
- GNOME Version: 47
Additional context
This started happening around 1-2 days ago (perhaps with the extension upgrade to version 50?), yesterday I resolved the problem by reloading the extension in the "gnome extensions" dialog (switching it off and then on again), but this does not seem to be working today. The destination directory has all necessary permissions (is user writable).
