- a cool wallpaper shown by e.g. random changer isn't easy identified (mine come from a ~5k image dump, the GUI desktop settings preview window takes ages to fill)
- setting location in the tree changed over time
- so past magic formulas become wrong.
BE EXTRA CAREFUL WITH XFCONF AS IT MAY CHANGE SETTINGS
As of April 2021, Mint 20.1 XFCE, you find it like so:
Code: Select all
xfconf-query -c xfce4-desktop -lv | grep "last-image"
Code: Select all
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Name=CURRENT BG
Comment=:-D
Exec=xfce4-terminal -e 'bash -c "xfconf-query -c xfce4-desktop -lv | grep "last-image"; bash"'
Icon=
Path=
Terminal=false
StartupNotify=false
- it's in the xfce4-desktop channel
- grepping "last-image" shows all wallpapers for all vitual desktops.
In the future path may change, so update by going to Menu - Settings - Setting Manager, don't change anything there, nose or search around, make a note of channel and some identifying string.
