Hi, the content of default wallpaper folder should be displayed always, since evertime i choose an image from another folder i need to manually enter/search the default wallpaper folder again. Also even better would be to to copy a choosed wallpaper into the the default wallpaper folder.
Hi JK, the contents of the default wallpaper directory (/usr/share/backgrounds/xfce/ on my distro) are always displayed for me. When I open the wallpaper selection dialog, I always see the default xfce-blue.jpg wallpaper listed. This isn't the case for you? WHat distribution/xfdesktop version?
Created attachment 6120 Add default wallpaper folder to file chooser This simple patch adds the entry "backgrounds" (/usr/share/backgrounds) to the file chooser dialog window and drop down menu.
Created attachment 6123 Don't hard code default wallpaper folder The previous patch works only on system where PREFIX is /usr (usually Linux). On BSD systems PREFIX is different, so default wallpaper folder is not found. Patch fixes this issue.
Created attachment 6124 Don't hard code default wallpaper folder New patch, respect default tab/space.
Olivier, your patch changes the wallpaper location to PREFIX/share/xfce4/backdrops. Is this intended?
(In reply to Thaddaeus Tintenfisch from comment #5) > Olivier, your patch changes the wallpaper location to > PREFIX/share/xfce4/backdrops. Is this intended? No, it's mistake, I tested when directory doesn't exist, and I forgot to replace the right name, Sorry. I send patch to Eric.
HJ, any comment on the proposed solution?
yup that last one works for me
