If you save this workflow as an aplication, it has the same effect as Desky. You can drag your image over the app and it changes the backround. So, basically it does the same thing as Desky, not to downplay Desky any, but it goes to show Automator is a pretty powerful device capable of almost anything you can think of.

I would probably use it, but I made my own automator contexual menu workflow. I call it change desktop image. It get's the selected finder image and then sets the desktop image. It works very nicely for me. Thats pretty nifty. I would probably use it, but I made my own automator contexual menu workflow. I call it change desktop image.

Though rather uncreatively named, in the dropdown menu it offers all of the options that System Preferences does (aka rotating backgrounds, background color, layout, etc.) As a user of rotating backgrounds, i find it preferable. a similar program, though only usable as a menu bar icon, is Picture Switcher.
