DESCRIPTION
Every time Plasma 6 is upgraded, my chosen wallpapers are overridden by the
latest Plasma fashion. It is very annoying having to reset it in System
Settings every time. Please respect my choice and make new wallpapers available
but not selected.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set custom wallpapers either as a chosen image or a slideshow
2. Wait for the next upgrade of Plasma
3. Restart the desktop
OBSERVED RESULT
With a fixed wallpaper, it remains selected in System Settings, but the
wallpaper displayed on the screen is the latest default. I have to select an
alternative, Apply, and then re-select my choice and Apply again to get it
back.
On a slideshow, the new wallpaper is selected for inclusion automatically
without consulting me.
EXPECTED RESULT
The user's choices would be respected and left alone.
