after seeing whats inside, i understand what it does.

i guess all the 4 referenced wallpaper in the .desktop-file have to be in the same folder that the .desktop-file is?
I think that depends on how the creator of the .desktop file referenced the image files.

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Background Image
Name=Vintage Wallpaper
Hidden=True

X-File1=/home/user/MyDocs/.images/vintage_01.png
X-File2=/home/user/MyDocs/.images/vintage_02.png
X-File3=/home/user/MyDocs/.images/vintage_03.png
X-File4=/home/user/MyDocs/.images/vintage_04.png
X-Order=01
this is a example of my own wallpapers I made and it is referenced all image files with an absolute path.

so I could have copied them to /home/user/MyDocs/.documents and referenced them like this:

X-File1=/home/user/MyDocs/.documents/vintage_01.png
...
in the .desktop file you'd still be able to see them.

What does "Sync" do on n900wallpapers ? Also, I downloaded all the pics and .desktop file from the website and put them in pictures folder. When I tried applying the wallpaper, I was unable to edit the desktop (from menu) and was only able to do so after deleting .desktop file. Any suggestion ?

Theres some thing wrong with the desktop files. When downloading them there saved as desktop files and not .desktop files. Also when downloading the wallpapers and desktop files and placing them in the .images folder you cannot change the desktop files. When clicking on the change background it crashes out and then all my icons dissapear and my widgets get deleted..

Don't know if this is a PR1.1 thing or not but the .desktop files I download from N900 Wallpapers work fine now. I just download the images, and desktop to my images folder and hey presto, they just work.

I know this has been mentioned before, but I still have a problem with the site navigation missing the first letter all the way down the left.

Anyone else get this?

Yeah the .desktop files seem to be including the full path to the images now. You had to add it manually a couple weeks ago when I first tried it.

I couldn't figure out the .desktop thing either. But I just used "Save Wallpapers" and manually changed each.

That aside, awesome site, love it! I am using hte Super Mario Galaxy walls right now =0)
