This is fixed in g-c-c 3. We could get it in natty if someone works on

I think the idea that users expect a file to be their wallpaper is a bit
unrealistic. Many users would like to set their wallpaper in ways that
are completely different from interacting with actual files -- right
clicking an image in Firefox, for instance (where it's called desktop
background).
I still think a hardlink is the best way to go for the common case
(picture on main drive/partition) as there is no read/write overhead or
extra space wasted.

Mike, you can see from the use case in duplicate bug #420309 that the
image may need to be backed up to a safe location when it is set, not
when it is deleted.

If it is backed up to a safe location when it is set, and then your
example user modifies her boyfriend's picture, when she deletes it
won't she get the old picture as her background?

David Siegel,
There is also another problem with backing up the file, there are scripts which
allow to randomly keep switching wallpapers , so this would lead to lot of
unnecessary read-writes.
What Michael said makes sense , inotify watch for the active wallpaper is
better...

I think the conclusion is that we don't want a warning, it should just
work and stay out of the user's way. So in

That would work even better. just copy the file to the ~/Pictures

Sounds like we need an inotify watch for the active wallpaper which
will update the location when it moves. Detecting a deletion should be
possible with this approach as well, though the behavior here would
need to be defined, specifically, where does the image get copied to.
David, any thoughts
I experienced this as well, but when moving the image file. For me, as a
user, I figured GNOME would follow the path of the image and replace it
for my wallpaper, all without me knowing.
I rather this than have a dialogue pop up warning me that I'm moving my
wallpaper. If I delete my wallpaper
Don't those buttons just make soft links to an existing image in some
directory when added and delete them when removed? I would think
nothing changes.
When the user selects a wallpaper the original image is copied over the
~.gnome/background/current file and displayed from there. The only issue
OK, I should have looked before posting. There are no soft links, there
is simply an entry in an xml file added to populate the wallpapers on
that menu. ~/.gnome2/backgrounds.xml is the file. There should be no
change required to the System-Preferences-Appearance menu to address
Tim's concern.
My
Copying only one image to some predefined location is a bad solution
IMO, and here's why:
when a user opens the wallpaper configuration, there are two buttons at
the bottom, Add and Remove. When he now adds an image, what should
happen in your opinion? Should the old wallpaper be overwritten or
Hard links don't work across mount points. So if the user picks a
wallpaper that does not reside in his/her home folder it may not work
depending upon how their system was set up.
For example I had a system where most of my image/music data was on a
separate mounted volume from my home
So we copy instead of hard link in that case. In the common case it
still does the job and doesn't waste any HD space.

since this popped into my head while reading through this I thought I

In my opinion, this is not a real bug.
If you delete an image, it can no longer be opened. That's true for
every file.
As the original poster stated, his wallpaper changed immediately. So he
can restore the file from trash and learned his lesson, no harm done.
But on the other hand I can kind
The easiest most practical solution is to just have a
~/.config/current-background.jpg file to which the wallpaper is copied
the moment you set it as wallpaper. No lessons to be learned or files
to be restored. The solution you propose could be implemented but is
indeed far more complicated and
I agree with the hard link idea. Correct behaviour and faster than a
copy.
$HOME/.config/current-background is fine (I wouldn't name it .jpg -
suppose I use a PNG or TIFF for my wallpaper? It doesn't matter whether
or not it has an extension anyway, Nautilus or xloadimage can tell what
it is.)

A copy should be fine, and if one remove's it from the Appearance window, then
the copy is deleted.
Disk space is cheap and background images are usually small.

Making a copy of the image is a lot cheaper than adding a hack to
Nautilus which it runs when an image gets deleted ;)
I'm confirming this one, if nobody minds. Even I (and I consider myself
reasonably knowledgeable) feel pretty overwhelmed when it comes to adding
wallpapers, because I know
Even better, use a hardlink that changes when you change the active
wallpaper. No extra file system use while you still have the original
file on your system and once you change the active wallpaper the extra
copy goes away.
However, I'm not sure this qualifies as a paper cut bug as that would

I'd suggest that when someone sets something as the wallpaper,
it stores a copy of that image somewhere else to prevent things like this
from happening.
No, I'm against. I don't want duplicates of my wallpapers falling
somewhere on my HDD. What a disk space loss!
Better display a popup
I think this is a good decision. There should be somewhere in home where
all previous wallpapers are stored, so that you can revert to previously
used (now deleted) images.
There should be, however a limit on this. Maybe there should be a size
limit on what can be stored (which can be set by the
Well I don´t know if we need to save previous wallpapers too, but at
least a copy of the current wallpaper should be kept. That would use
only the size of one wallpaper.
