I was trying to find the file location of my desktop background. Somewhere online they said try entering this into Terminal
defaults write com.apple.dock desktop-picture-show-debug-text -bool TRUE;killall Dock
It added a banner over my background that says the name of the file, but didn't help me find it's location. How do I get rid of that banner, or undo this terminal command?
Thanks
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.4), Mid 2010 Macbook Pro
Run the following:
defaults write com.apple.dock desktop-picture-show-debug-text -bool FALSE;killall Dock
(90333)
The location of the system's desktop images are in: /Library/Desktop Pictures/
Open Finder. From the Menu Bar, Go > Go to Folder... > /Library/Desktop Pictures/
If it was set by you, check System Preferences > Desktop & Screensavers
for the folder in which the image you set resides.
THANKYOU
I've searched EVERY folder on my computer, from every angle, and it's not there. I had the picture on my desktop, right clicked it, set it as my background and then deleted the picture from my desktop since then. And cleared my trash. The file isn't on my computer on it's own anywhere. If I try to find the file name through "Change Desktop Background" it says the file name is Safari Desktop Picture.... I just found it. In a folder that wasn't there before... haha Thanks for your help.
So you found it? You are welcome.
How do I undo this Terminal Command?
