10.4: Set desktop picture via Automator
Authored by: rspress on Jul 26, '06 10:16:33AM

I set up Automator to do just this a long time ago. You can leave off the save as command if you wish to leave the picture file where it is at or you can have it save the file in the desktop pictures folder all the time be modifying the save as command.

I created a finder plug-in to do this with a click on the second button on my mouse or my trackball. The only problem with automator is that it may tile the file if it is much smaller than the screen.

You could also add a save as JPG command to save any quicktime supported format file so that desktop pictures can understand it.
