Package: xfdesktop4 Version: 4.12.3-3 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
Suppose I want to use a background image that is in a different folder than my current background image. I bring up the Desktop Settings window (right-click on the desktop), click on the Folder chooser in the Background tab, then click "other...". This brings up a chooser, with a pathbar at the top. The buttons in the pathbar work. For example, if my current background is in /usr/share/backgrounds/xfce, I can click on "backgrounds" in the pathbar, and the chooser shows other folders in /usr/share/backgrounds. The problem is that these other folders are grayed out; clicking on them has no effect. Workaround: click on the icon in the upper left of the chooser. This creates a Location text field in the chooser window. Type the path of the desired folder there. This might be the same as #822761, but I'm not sure, so I'm filing this as a new bug. Part of why I'm not sure is that I'm confused by the title of the chooser. It says "Select a File". But is it really used to select an image file, or is it just supposed to be used to select a folder? -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.8.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages xfdesktop4 depends on: ii exo-utils 0.10.7-1 ii libc6 2.24-8 ii libcairo2 1.14.8-1 ii libdbus-1-3 1.10.14-1 ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.108-1 ii libexo-1-0 0.10.7-1 ii libgarcon-1-0 0.4.0-2 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.36.0-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.50.2-2 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.31-1 ii libnotify4 0.7.7-1 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.40.3-3 ii libpangocairo-1.0-0 1.40.3-3 ii libthunarx-2-0 1.6.10-4 ii libwnck22 2.30.7-5.1 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.4-2 ii libxfce4ui-1-0 4.12.1-2 ii libxfce4util7 4.12.1-3 ii libxfconf-0-2 4.12.1-1 ii xfdesktop4-data 4.12.3-3 Versions of packages xfdesktop4 recommends: ii dbus-x11 [dbus-session-bus] 1.10.14-1 ii librsvg2-common 2.40.16-1 ii tumbler 0.1.31-2+b3 ii xdg-user-dirs 0.15-2 Versions of packages xfdesktop4 suggests: ii menu 2.1.47 -- no debconf information
