Puppy 520 Wallpaper problem ver 6.1 <SOLVED>
Posted: Tue 13 Sep 2011, 11:54
I was playing around and got a picture from Nathan's photo collection.
It contained 2 pictures side by side in the image. I cropped it and saved the resulting image.
I then thought I would try it as wallpaper.
I fired up Nathan's Wallpaper Setter and changed by background image to the new one.
So far, so good.
I then selected my original wallpaper file and tried applying it.
I do not know if this has anything to do with it, but my original wallpaper file was called "dirty_beach.jpg"
When I tried to pick it and hit apply, it also locked up Nathans Wallpaper Setter so that I had to exit and restart it. Also, I tried it again after copying the file from a backup and so the bug is repeatable.
This is where the problem developed.
I was greeted with a blank background and the file size of that file had dropped to zero.
I did not let it bug me and copied over the file from a backup.
I was able to view it fine when clicking on it.
But...
When I again tried to set it as my wallpaper while a blank background was displayed the file size again dropped to zero.
I finally was able to get my background back by coping my original wallpaper background over while renaming it.
That worked.
But what caused this strange behavior?
