How to use SteamCMD to download workshop files
Important: You need to have "Wallpaper Engine" (the original version) in your steam library, as you can't download the items without a steam account!
Open your Terminal.app
Create directory for SteamCMD
mkdir ~/Steam && cd ~/Steam
Download and extract SteamCMD
curl -sqL "https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/client/installer/steamcmd_osx.tar.gz" | tar zxvf -
Navigate to SteamCMD Folder
cd ~/Steam
Login with your steam account
./steamcmd.sh +login YOURSTEAMUSERNAME
Enter your password (and your SteamGuard Code)
Now you can start to download workshop items, just enter
workshop_download_item 431960 ITEMID
(replace ITEMID with the item id). You can find the item in the steam workshop browser online (only video and web(?) files).To get the Item-ID just click on your preferred wallpaper and copy the number behind the "id" parameter in your adress bar (eg. ?id=2323285350 <- this)
Wait until you see "Success!" in your Terminal.
Copy the whole workshop item folder in
~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/workshop/content/431960/
(folder has a number as name) to the content folder of "Open Wallpaper Engine" in~/Library/Containers/com.haren724.open-wallpaper-engine/Data/Documents
