Current Desktop Picture


  • Subject: Current Desktop Picture
  • From: Neil Laubenthal <email@hidden>

I've got the following that gives the name of the current desktop picture.

tell application "System Events"
	set my_desktop to value of (property list item "LastName" of ¬
		property list item "default" of property list item ¬
		"Background" of property list file ¬
		((path to preferences as Unicode text) & ¬
			"com.apple.desktop.plist"))

	display dialog my_desktop
end tell

Under Lion it tells me only the name for the picture on Desktop 1. Does anybody know how to modify it so that it either tells me  the name of all active Desktop pictures or or the desktop I"m currently looking at? Unfortunately, this is beyond my limited scripting skills:-)
