Where the hell is it?

[stevel58]

I have various black and white photographs I rotate as my desktop. However, the attached photo keeps showing up but I can't find it anywhere on my machine. It is definitely not in the Library\Desktop\Black & White folder where all the other photos are.

Where the $@*? is it? I've done a Spotlight search, manually trawled all my photos, etc and no show.

Any ideas?

Somewhere in Japan?

lol wheeze wheeze, oh dear, that hasn't done my cough any good.
Worth it though!

Could it just have a code number and be in Pictures?

It may be hidden. Try un-hiding hidden files and then look for it.

It may have been used before. Try deleting com.apple.desktop.plist from your preferences folder and re-specify the folder you want to use.

In trying to research something for this post, I set a rotating folder up. I then switched back to my static image. But it continued to rotate images randomly. Deleting the plist file fixed it.

Just a suggestion.

Hi emw - can you confirm where the plist file is located?

Your user library > preferences folder.

Looks like the South Pacific. I don't think Japan

This might not apply to rotating images (or leopard) but...

My mac will continue to show a picture even if I've overwritten/deleted the file. There's a cache of desktops pictures in /Library/Caches/Desktop Pictures for every user on my machine, prefixed with their user ID number.

I need your desktop picture. Please post it. I love it!

Thanks - I've deleted the file and am waiting to see whether it's worked. Looks promising.

That actually is a rather nice picture. If you do ever find out where it is, could you send me it?

Back on topic, do you actually recognise the picture as one you've put on the computer yourself? Or is it completely foreign to you? I'm sure it doesn't come with Leopard.
