adding pics to xfce?

<< < (3/4) > >>

Yes I have had this issue as well. I tried putting the old background pictures from LL 1.08 into the Background folder for Beryl and I could not see them at all. I removed them and placed them in a separate folder and they are still not being seen. How do I get the old backgrounds from LL 1.08 to work on Beryl?

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by the files will be locked up.

Are you using administrator (sudo) privlidges when copying the files? Here's an example, does this work for you?


To paste additional backgrounds into the folder /usr/share/backgrounds/xfce/ you will need administrator permissions.

Open Thunar
File > Open as Administrator
A new Thunar window opens in administrator mode
Navigate to /usr/share/backgrounds/xfce/

Now you should be able to copy and paste backgrounds.

I like using multiple backgrounds on my LL 2.0. However when I copy pictures into the /backgrounds/xfce folder all files will be locked up. If I change the background location to somewhere else, after closing the desktop settings app it defaults back to the xfce directory. So 1, How do I unlock the picture files in the xfce directory, or 2, make the change in the desktop setting app stick?

Thanks
