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).
