Description Trinh Anh Ngoc 2014-10-17 07:51:25 UTC 
Created attachment 288722 [details]
Screenshot

Example with my pictures folder:

Home
 |---Pictures
        |---Camera
        |---Wallpapers

and i need a option to change location to Picture/Wallpapers.

Recursive scanning is also a good option must have.

This will be possible when the xdg-user-dirs are extended.

This won't happen. You can browse your photos in plenty of other applications, and use those to set the wallpaper. We're not going to make the background panel replace an image management program.
