So, I have about 1200 nature pics in one folder for desktop pictures. Anyone know of how to see the name of the pic currently displayed as your desktop pic, so I don't have to scroll through 1200 pics to find the one's I want to remove...



thanx,
Your Pal,

Preferences >> Desktop & Screen Saver
click on Desktop

once it's open, the current desktop will be displayed there in the upper left along with the file name to the right.

if you click on any of the folders in the library then click once on a pic, it will display the pic on the preference pane along with the name as well as reset the desktop to the same.

yeah, that only seems to work when you have a picture selected, not when you have it set to alternate pics every 5 minutes. With the alternating pictures selected all I see is a circle of arrows in that little box....

stop the rotation when you see one you don't want.

tried that.....it either sends me to the very first pic or to a pic from another folder for some odd reason......I'll just scroll thrugh all of them and spend the hour to delete what i don't want......

I may have your solution, if you're using Leopard...

Go into your hard drive and navigate to
{quote}Your Home Folder/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist{quote}

Open the file in QuickLook (or TextWrangler, if you have it) and scroll down until you find something that says
{quote}LastName{quote}

Right underneath that should be the name of the current image.

Hope that helps.
