adding pics to xfce?

[Scott(0)]

Hi Tfaranyosi,

However when I copy pictures into the /backgrounds/xfce folder all files will be locked up.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by the files will be locked up.

Are you using administrator (sudo) privlidges when copying the files? Here's an example, does this work for you?


To paste additional backgrounds into the folder /usr/share/backgrounds/xfce/ you will need administrator permissions.

Open Thunar
File > Open as Administrator
A new Thunar window opens in administrator mode
Navigate to /usr/share/backgrounds/xfce/

Now you should be able to copy and paste backgrounds.
