Deleting Image sets
 
How does one go around deleting Image sets? Ive deleted afew pictures i dislike but i still have the image sets in the backgrounds menu.

Anyway to shift them?

Cheers

Easy. Delete the relevant .desktop file

e.g.

if the image set is ornament-rainbow, delete the ornament-rainbow.desktop file in the .images folder on the mass memory.

rm /home/user/MyDocs/.images/.abstract1.desktop

They will come back again when you upgrade Maemo, so it may not be worth the bother to delete them now.

check out http://n900wallpapers.com/ they have a bunch

have you created a .desktop file for them?

you need to group them together in a 'config' file.

which contains :

Quote:

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Background Image
Name=Abstract 1
Hidden=true

X-File1=/home/user/MyDocs/.images/abstract1_01.jpg
X-File2=/home/user/MyDocs/.images/abstract1_02.jpg
X-File3=/home/user/MyDocs/.images/abstract1_03.jpg
X-File4=/home/user/MyDocs/.images/abstract1_04.jpg

X-Order=01
and stuff that into your image folder, then they would show up Image-Sets.

Right, my code is exactly the same as that of the Nokia blog's and the link above from Nirave.

It still isnt having it though? Anyone got MSN messenger? it's bugging me now to the point where i cant sleep...eat...

FIXED IT.

The notepad files were saved as .Txt files rather then desktop files.

Example - .Water.desktop.txt


Make sure you get rid of that .Txt extension!
