Use symbolic links for desktop picture collections

I found it very annoying that desktop picture collections do not accept aliases, and if I wanted to put an image there that was somewhere else on my system, I had to copy the pictures there. Recently I discovered that symbolic links work in this case (as do hard links, but you have to be careful with those). So you can just use:
% ln [-s] ~/my_pict.jpg ~/current_desktops/(or whatever you want to call it). I now have a script set up to do this.
