Yes, you can select the image you added from the 'pictures' combo. You
can't go back with the '+' and get it from whatever directory you
originally got it from (pick an image NOT in ~/Pictures). I didn't think
the '+' function really added it to any particular list. You'd have
thought it would add it to the 'wallpapers' displayed. I never realized
it was getting added to 'Pictures Folder' because I have a lot of
pictures in ~/Pictures and didn't notice. So I'd go back to the original
directory and found I couldn't select it ('open' greyed out).So it gets added to 'Pictures Folder', and is displayed along with everything else in ~/Pictures. But it's not in your ~/Pictures folder - it's been copied to ~/.cache/gnome-control-center/backgrounds with a weird name. The dialog box links that copy into the list that it offers under 'Pictures Folder'. It shows up with the weird name from the cache, which is unfortunate. I think it would make more sense to add it to Wallpapers, with its original name. The whole process seems only half thought-out. BTW, this issue is present in Precise as well. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/899647 Title: When I try to change backgrounds to a previously selected background it won't let me open it.
