Frustrating macOS bug that's persisted across two major versions: if I set the desktop background to a file that's in Dropbox, un/plugging my external display will reset the background to the OS default. Haven't found a way around it so far!

@gosha if you're using dropbox for your backdrop because it updates, what about setting up an automator script (whatever that robot thing is called) to periodically copy the file from the dropbox to a local folder and use that as your backdrop, presumably it'd be unaffected by your external display being reset?

@voxel That sounds like a good idea, I'm gonna give it a try! Thank you!
