Please keep the list cced. In the terminal just 'cd' to get to your home directory then cd Pictures. 'pwd' will show you the current directory name. In the Settings tool, everything is greyed because the filetype selector is set to "Image files." Just navigate to the Folder you want using the buttons at the top, and/or type in a Folder in "Location" bar. Click on "Open" and the "background" tab will then show you the contents of that Folder, and you can select the one you want for your background. unman -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
