I'm trying to apply the same wallpaper image to multiple monitors

I set up the CP / Restriction / Functionality / Lock desktop picture to /Users/Shared/Wallpaper/Wallpaper.jpg

 

It sets the wallpaper on the primary monitor but does not set on the secondary one.

I've tried with a script also to test

 

 

#!/bin/zsh
wallpaper_path=/Users/Share/Wallpaper/Wallpaper.jpg
osascript -e "tell application \\"Finder\\" to set desktop picture to POSIX file \\"$wallpaper_path\\""

 

 

Am I missing something or is this an Apple "feature"?

@sgiesbrecht You'll probably have better luck with https://github.com/scriptingosx/desktoppr which can set an image for all screens, or separate images for each screen.
