[Solved] Changing wallpaper

Hi, I run Xfce 4.12.3-1 on fedora 22. I have a wallpaper selection problem.
Only the 3  default thumbnails are selectable. Any other pic, png, jpeg, appear grayed out when selected as file names in the "images" selection box. Whatever is the repertory they are in.
This is also true for this 3 default png pic.
My workaround is to copy my wallpapers in ~/backgrounds. Then, their thumbnails are selectable.
Is it a known bug ?

Re: [Solved] Changing wallpaper

Hello and welcome.

If I'm understanding this correctly...

xfdesktop changed the way that wallpapers are selected in 4.12. You no longer select the image in the selection box, you select a folder. The contents of that folder are then displayed in the dialog and you select the image there. More information here.

If I'm wrong in my understanding, can you post back a screenshot?
