hyprpaper crashes when choosing a new wallpaper from the hamburger menu picker

coredumpctl list hyprpaper error: [string “return hl.dispatch(exec hyprpaper)”]:1: ‘)’ expected near ‘hyprpaper’ → Note: dispatch in lua is a shorthand for hl.dispatch(…), your syntax might need to be updated.

Fix:

Updating wallpaper.sh at ~/.config/hyprland-de/scripts/wallpaper.sh to the following:

--- a/~/.config/hyprland-de/scripts/wallpaper.sh
+++ b/~/.config/hyprland-de/scripts/wallpaper.sh
