Thanks for the links! desktopImageURL works if you're manually cycling your wallpapers, but it won't give you the correct result if you're relying on the native macOS cycling functionality. (It only returns the source image directory URL.) Hence the private functions and Dock restarting.

Ah, ok. Why not just implement your own cycling instead of relying on the system cycling?

  I suppose I envisioned the app as something that simply slotted on top of the native system behavior and wouldn't break anything when closed. Less hassles, less maintenance, and the user doesn't have to worry about automatic processes changing their system settings. As a consequence, you can set the wallpaper for each Space to a different image or directory in System Preferences, and the app will only expose its "gallery management" features when it can match the current wallpaper with an image in its assigned Source directory.
