I auto-rotate the wallpaper on my desktop daily. Once in a while I want to remember the date and location of a photo that is on the desktop. Is there an easy way to find the exact photo that is being displayed?
Thanks for any advice!

From the Terminal, and the only way that I know of...
This debug shows that Core Service is an alias back to the Library folder
Terminal.app copy & paste
defaults write com.apple.dock desktop-picture-show-debug-text -bool TRUE && killall Dock
ex.
to turn off the debug overlay
defaults delete com.apple.dock desktop-picture-show-debug-text && killall Dock
