I have a subdirectory under /Pictures called 'Desktops'.

It's fillled with Hi-Res shots I like as Wallpaper.

So, I click the '+' and add this folder in System Preference > Desktop & Screen Saver


I then check the box to have it change every 15 minutes. Hunky Dory.

However.. I have since changed the desktop (to a single shot elsewhere).

Now, I return and try to repeat the process (add 'Desktops' as source for my Wallpaper) but it won't have it "Desktops is already in the list"

But it's not in the list, it is not listed in the Desktops pane at all, just 'Pictures' which is there by default and not the folder I want to add.


I had to rename the folder and re-add it to get around this but this is the first fully fledged bug I've found - anyone else? Better solution?


Nvr Mnd - Worked it out - Pictures have to be directly under /Pictures for the desktop wallpaper to work, genius.
