I've got exactly the same thing; adding picture(s) in the drop down 'Pictures folder' item, only lasts as long as you have that screen open. If you close the window / backgrounds option and you right click on your desktop to reopen it; wallpapers appear ok. When clicking on 'wallpapers' to get again the 'picture folder' option, everything is gone. At my version of Precise it does point to the /home/username folder though.. which is not correct either…. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/968268 Title: Cannot permanently add wallpaper to 'Pictures Folder' To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/968268/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

So there must be a right and a wrong way to add pictures to the pictures folder, and I must have inadvertently picked the right way for the pic that I do not want there and the wrong way for those that I want to stay there.

Is this the same bug? Here is what I am doing: Right-click on desktop select Change Desktop Background under the Look tab select Wallpapers from the drop-down menu click on the + button to add new wallpapers to the selection browse to the wallpaper and click open ... What happens then is that the Wallpapers section changes to the Pictures Folder section with the wallpaper being applied to the desktop background - However when I close the Appearance dialog and reopen it and go again to Pictures Folder my wallpaper is no longer there!! So ... 1. The Wallpaper should be added to the Wallpapers section and not to the Pictures Folder and 2. The custom wallpaper should not disappear -- ever!

[Bug 968268] Re: Cannot permanently add wallpaper to 'Pictures Folder'
Ryan, we discussed similar issues but not exactly this one, with this bug the currently selected wallpaper is showing nowhere in gnome- control-center, what happens is: - when you use the add button to select a wallpaper the ui change to picture folder with the wallpaper you picked listed and selected - if you close the capplet and reopen it (or go back to all settings and then to appaerance) then image is listed in none of the categories That's a bit of a confusing ui, maybe picture folder or wallpaper should list the image from the gsettings key if it's not already in the list to reflect the currently set wallpaper? Or if you think it's wrong, at least selecting an image should not place you on the picture folder section with the image added for the active session only (i.e it's confusing that the ui shows you your image being added to that section but remove it if you reopen the ui) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/968268 Title: Cannot permanently add wallpaper to 'Pictures Folder' To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/968268/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 968268] Re: Cannot permanently add wallpaper to 'Pictures Folder'
Running 12.04 with the new Unity Greeter that shows your wallpaper on the login screen. Something else to think about with all this is that if the Pictures Folder really means ~/Pictures then when you have an encrypted home directory, these pictures will not appear at the login screen. Likewise if adding a picture means adding a pointer to it under the .cache directory it will also not appear on the login screen. Ideally, there should be a way, even if it requires sudo priviledges to add wallpapers to /usr/share/backgrounds.

Seb: we discussed this on IRC a few weeks ago and I mentioned that this is a known and intended side effect. Also note that the wallpaper is never really added to the pictures folder -- just to a cache directory that appears under Pictures Folder in the UI (which is a bit of a lie, imho).

[Bug 968268] Re: Cannot permanently add wallpaper to 'Pictures Folder'
Having a +/- button suggests that I can add and remove images, when I can't. I'm no design/usability guy, but that really sounds wrong to me. Also, having an image group called Pictures Folder suggests, that it has anything to do with ~/Pictures when it doesn't seem to. Then there are those other questions like: Why aren't images in the root of ~/Pictures copied to the ~/.cache directory (therefore usable by lightdm)?
