macOS caches wallpaper URLs, so calling setDesktopImageURL() with the same URL twice (even with different file contents) is ignored by macOS. This fix adds a millisecond timestamp to wallpaper filenames, ensuring each application creates a unique URL that forces macOS to reload. Old wallpaper files are cleaned up to prevent disk bloat. Fixes regression introduced in v1.2.3 where deterministic filenames prevented users from reapplying wallpapers without manually changing the desktop wallpaper first.
