I've edited an image to be compatible with Sailfish OS 2.0, so I created a file 2048x2048p.
As a test, I applied it from the Gallery and it looked fine. Then I packaged the image in an ambience and packaged it.
I tested the rpm and the result was kinda weird, as the image was no longer centered on the screen but moved in the bottom right.
Is there any setting in the package I should consider?

The positioning of an ambience wallpaper is determined by its version, ambiences with a square wallpaper should have a '"version": 2' line in their .ambience file.
aha, thank you @Andrew den Exter - I completely ignored that aspect of the .ambience file and used a file from an original ambience; no wonder it didn't work!

I don't beleive that this is any form of bug. There are no settings to make your image appear as you want (that I can see). The data is buried in the image by way of 'guide-lines' as used in Photoshop.
When I imported the image from the Intense ambience, this was the result;
Notice the blue guidelines?, I did not add these, they appeared as soon as the image was opened!
Now compare the same ambience when activated on the device;
Notice how the guidelines in the first image seem to be roughly situated to where the ambience image is cropped on the device!
I believe this is how Jolla are making the images sit where they require when activated on your device, so the trick appears to be, your image must be saved with the appropriate guidelines. I will have to assume that other image editing programs have the same feature as Photoshop (guidelines).

Spam Hunter ( 2015-09-15 13:44:54 +0200 )editWeird, I can not see those guidelines in Gimp (but we'll, it may also be my fault).
I think I'll try to use the image cached from ambience creation from gallery and see if it works.
[EDIT] It doesn't work.
