[creeping death]

how to add a folder of wallpapers such that they appear in the appearance settings when i right click and click on "change background"

i have dumped all the wallpapers in /usr/share/backgrounds/ but i dont see the appearance settings show my wallpapers...

You have to add them using the "add" button.

lol but there are like 3000 images...and i could not add them all at once..

if only i could know where appearance settings keeps the index of the files it adds (and displays)...

Ok.

Try ... /home/your-dir/.gnome2/backgrounds.xml
