Created attachment 301246 [details]
it shows that a picture cannot be selected if it's inside a folder for the background image

This is a suggestion I would like to see implemented in future versions of gnome, I attached a video for a better explanation:

As the video shows, at this time is not posible to select a picture directly from the folder that contains the picture I want to set as the background image because they must reside in the root of pictures folder but since I have them all organized into folders is not posible yet to select them, I would like to see all my folders in that window and then pick the folder where the image I want to use is located, also it should be posible to select the desired image outside the pictures folder.

That's not a bug. You can use the image viewer or the file manager to set new backgrounds that are outside this folder.
