Public bug reported: Hello.
In your application, you choose to separate the background image selection in two parts: first selecting a directory and then selecting the file. The directory selection does not make any change, only the file selection does. This is IMHO confusing, particularly when a regular random change of the background image is asked. In that case, the file selection is not (so) important. I think you should add a popup dialog, when a new directory is selected but no file chosen, as this leads to information loss, saying something like: "Directory change will only be taken into account if you choose a file. Do you want to cancel directory selection or choose a file?" It took me twice about half an hour to understand your application's behaviour, as I only need to use it every two years, when I upgrade from a distribution to the next. Adding this popup would be a great help for me, and certainly for other users also. I may even do it myself, if you tell me where in your code file selection is done (this could be done in about 15 minutes, I guess).
