Where is the current desktop image stored??

Hi,
I have an image that I've set as my desktop and I want to find the original file...
Where is this file kept? I haven't been able to find it in the 'library' or the 'system' files.
Any help is appreciated as always...

If it's a custom one, it's stored in its original location. The default ones look like they're in "/Library/Desktop Pictures". You can find out where the current one is by opening the Terminal application and copying and pasting this one-liner:
defaults read com.apple.desktop | grep ImageFilePath
Hit the "enter" key and it'll tell you where the original file is.

  • Where is the signature capture image stored?

    Does anybody know where the image is stored once it's cptured?  I'm trying to find it so I can use it in other applications.
    Thanks

    Well I will give apple props for thinking of encryping the signature,
    Fully agreed here.
    but it also creates problems if users would like to use it to sign letters in Pages or emails without going though that additional step of saving it as a PDF and then signing it.
    I have been using scanned and stored signature for years on OS X. Screenshot/alpha_channel/copy&paste
    Most Page files get exported as PDF anyway to send or print,  so not necessarily an issue.
    Third party pdfPen does a beautiful job of handling stored signatures for user friendly experience.
    I do think it is progress for Apple and Sig Capture/Preview.

  • Where are the currently open tabs stored - (windows totally crashed but files can still be retrieved, i got about 30 open tabs which I would like to get the URL's of before my dad wipes the drive)

    We used to have windows xp, but one day it just wouldnt load up. My dad has got windows 7 but before he wipes the old drive clean I would like to find my old open tabs
    It unexpectedly crashed so I still have about 30+ open tabs sitting somewhere on the hard drive and I have no clue where they are
    Does anyone know where they are stored, or if there is a file I can transfer over which stores the open tabs?

    C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\sessionstore.js
    Use editor that have Word wrap feature (notepad++ is good). Keep in mind that this is a ~1MB text file, so there's a lot of unneeded information for you and it could get really slow.
    Format is: [{"tabs": [{"entries": [{starting page},{next url},{next url}...], some data}, next entry (aka tab), next entry...}]. You need last url from each entry.
    Hope this helps.

  • Where is the Lenovo Factory Image stored - and what is c:\program files\ unknown ?

    Working with an X61s running XP Pro SP3.
    We are using a third party program (Ghost) to do our own image backups.  These are coming in larger than expected so I began by doing a disk cleanup, emptying recycle bin, temp files etc.  After those steps...
    Properties for Drive C show 35.5 G out of 160 used.
    However, when I add up any folders off the root that have more than .5G I get 29.7 G.
    That leaves 6 G unaccounted for.
    I have check Lenovo's Restore and Recovery function and it is OFF and has been off as soon as we started working with the machine.  When I open that program, it shows no files available... so apparently(?) none where made.
    There is a 5G Fat 32 partition that I assume is Lenovo's factory image file.  That partition is not part of the Ghost Image.
    I ran WinDirStat and found a file that IS a 5.9 G file located under Program Files which shows in WinDirStat as c:\Program Files\<unknown>.
    If I open Windows Explorer, the total files under Program Files equals the total for the individual folders under Program Files (EXCLUDING the "unknown")... so the "unknown" folder does not show up in Windows Explorer... only in WinDirStat... and in the image files I create with Ghost.
    Any one know if this 5.9G "unknown" file has anything to do with Lenovo's many built in programs?  Suggestions welcome.

    After the above post I found out that this is not the image file, but are the window recovery point files.
    If you want to knock this down in size (in my case, I was getting huge image backups because of it) you can right click on My Computer, select properties, select the system restore tab and reduce the %of the drive that can be allocated to system restore files.
    Note that this will limit how far back you can go to select a restore point... so check how far back you can go now... then reduce the allocation a bit.... and check it again.  Continue to reduce it until you have a compromise between the age of the recovery points you can go back to, and the size of the allocation. 
    Hope that helps.

  • Where can I locate the Apple Desktop images?

    Hi all, am trying to find the Apple Desktop images as there is one which I'd love to have on my phone.
    For the life of me though I can't seem to find where these images live. Any ideas?

    Desktop pictures are located in :
    Macintosh HD/Library/Desktop Pictures
    This should be standard on all machines, however for some reason they are not there, then simply use Spotlight to search for "Aqua Blue" (the name of one of the backgrounds) and you can find it that way.

  • I have connected my macbook pro to my tv via MDP to HDMI port cable, all that is showing up is the basic desktop image without any icons, what do i do to correct this

    i have connected my macbook pro to my tv via MDP to HDMI port cable, all that is showing up is the basic desktop image without any icons, what do i do to correct this

    Your MBP is running in "extended desktop" mode, where the two screens together make one larger area to display windows. You can drag one or more windows from the primary (internal) screen to the secondary (TV) screen. By default, the secondary screen is off to the right of the primary screen.
    If you would prefer the two screens show the same image, you want to switch to "mirroring" mode. You will have to pick a single resolution for both screens, which may look poor on one or the other.
    Both the relative positions of the two screens in extended desktop mode and the switch to mirroring mode can be set in System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement.

  • [kde] "Only show tasks from the current desktop" doesn't work for max

    Hi,
    I have two monitor setup (laptop + main monitor) and I would love to use "Only show tasks from the current desktop" option in KDE Task Manager but for some strange reason it doesn't work for me. Well, it works but only partially - for restored/unmaximized windows. When I maximize one it appears on the Taskbar on both screens. Is this normal? May it be due to the fact that I've placed Taskbar on top of the screens?

  • How do I find the file name of the current desktop picture?

    I've tried going to System Prefs, right-clicking on the desktop, and rifling through the pictures folder to visually match the picture.
    Isn't there an easy way to find out what the name of the current desktop picture file?

    ...and, when I double-clicked on the plist file, it opened OmniOutliner, which did a great job of sorting through all the machine-speak of the file, displaying it in an organized (outline) fashion. I was able to track down the missing picture and replace it on the desktop. Thanks!

  • I have an iMac, where are the completed print jobs stored on the iMac and what format are they?

    I have an iMac,  where are the completed print jobs stored on the iMac and what format are they?
    My OSX is 10.10.1

    Hi
    If you are using standard system or HP drivers, than the jobs contents are not saved at all.
    You can see the list of completed jobs per printer via this URL: http://127.0.0.1:631/printers/
    If you want to save a print job, you can do it in the print dialog, by selecting an action prom "PDF" popup.
    It allows to save a job (prior or instead to printing it) as PDF or PostScript.

  • Where is the printer configuration info stored?

    I need to configure printing for a whole lab, and while I can configure an individual machine for one user via the Print/Fax option of System prefs, I can't find where all that info gets stored (some of it is in ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.PrintingPrefs.plist, but not all) and I can't figure out how to slide that in as a whole-system configuration. Where is the per-user information stored, and where can I move it so that it applies system-wide?

    The printer queues are global so most of the information is not kept under any particular user. The path you mentioned keeps user relevant information, such as Presets.
    If the printers are using files that are included with 10.5, then the majority of compressed driver files are kept in ./Libary/Printers/Vendor or ./Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/en.lproj for PostScript PPDs.
    When you add a printer queue, some of the information is kept in ./etc/cups. This includes the printers.conf file which has details about the added printer queues and the decompressed PPD that was selected during the queue creation.
    So if you are looking at copying the data from one Mac to reduce your setup on all the other Mac's, then you may have to tell us the make and model, as there could also be a number of additional directories/files you need.

  • Why does my preferred desktop display immediately switch to another display when I open an icon on the current desktop?

    why does my preferred desktop display immediately switch horizontally to another display when I open an icon on the current desktop?

    That's not a shortcut you are creating with "save as", you are saving a copy of the webpage to your desktop - hence the folder with files for that webpage.

  • How to Paint the Presenter desktop images in participant application?

    Hi everybody,
    I have one doubt
    how to paint the Presenter desktop image in the participant
    application?
    In the breeze doing great work
    Please tell me how its possible
    Thanks and regards

    Hi John:
    If I understand your question correctly, this is something
    you can do
    in a Breeze meeting. Within the meeting, you would need to
    open a
    share pod and choose to share your screen. Once your screen
    is being
    shared, you can click on the right hand corner menu and
    choose
    "Whiteboard overlay". Then presenters, hosts, and
    participants with
    enhanced share pod priveleges will be able to "paint on top
    of" the
    desktop image (whatever application you're sharing).
    Hope this helps!
