I would like to add some of my own wallpapers to LL's desktop wallpaper directory.
Could someone tell me which directory they are stored in?
Many thanks
Mike
To copy new wallpapers, from the desktop screen to the /usr/share/backgrounds/xfce/ see instructions given by Technomancer at

ND: simply copying & pasting picture file doesn't work, as you need administrator permission - Technomancer explains how...

-> redundant, didn't refresh page so didn't see your update
Hi Mike,
Code:
$ ls -l /usr/share/backgrounds
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb 15 16:07 xfce
Code:
$ ls -l /usr/share/backgrounds/xfce/
total 11964
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 435590 May 2 2014 Car.jpg
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 113462 Jun 3 2013 Cubes.jpg

Only root has write permission to this folder. Therefore only root can paste files there.
Anybody however has read permission on the files. That's the reason you can copy files from there.
So if you copy the files in a terminal you need to use "sudo". If you use the file manager you need to choose "Open as Administrator".
Let us know if you need more detailed instructions.
Hope that helps

I just updated the directions to include adding to the default folder as well.
Some people may want to use the default folder instead of selecting another.
(thanks m654321 !)
