I really want to use the pictures screensaver, but it's not recursive. I don't know who in their right mind would keep all of their pictures in the same folder without any sort of organization.. I know that in 10.0 it used to be PERFECT, it supported recursively looking through directories AND randomization, and then they took that all out.., does anyone know if there is some command-line hack that can be used to have it traverse up from one directory?

For example
~/Pictures/digital/2000
~/Pictures/digital/2001
~/Pictures/digital/2002
... etc

is an oversimplified description of what is in my pictures folder. can this be done? Why the hell would apple take that functionality/option out? Surprised me it took them so long to put the randomize option back in...
