i made a small script that finds all my images and puts >> them into my
backdrops.list file. xfdesktop will only accept the file if it does _not_ end
with a line-break.
this behaviour is kind of annoying since making a big list takes a bit more
work then it should.

it'd be nice if it would just accept plain ASCII files with a linebreak such
as generated by scripts.

Additional information:

also: it would also be nice if i could use my ctrl and shift buttons to select
images with the backdrop editor.

xfce version?

i'm not seeing the problem with current CVS. xfdesktop _does_ create .list
files without a \n at the end, but putting one there doesn't make it stop
working.

Sorry, 4.0.6
Ok if it's fixed in CVS it should be allright, i'll wait for 4.0.7 then.

no, it's fixed for the upcoming 4.2.x branch, not for 4.0.x. if someone wants
to come up with a patch to fix 4.0.x, that's fine, but i don't really have
the time or inclination.
