The following script does not change the background image of the current terminal. It sure looks like it should.

---
tell application "iTerm"
tell current terminal
set background image path of its current session to "~/termback.jpg"
end tell
end tell
---

Is there some way to do the equivalent of checking the "use background image" checkbox in the session dialog?

I'm using 0.9.5.0315.

    Test script to save you copying and pasting

    You need to use the full path, say "/Users/yourname/termback.jpg".

    Note there's a bug in the current build that might cause a crash when you resize windows with bg image. It's fixed in the cvs now.
