Description Victor Vargas 2010-06-07 21:10:37 UTC
This report was originally filed at (wishlist one):
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/590584



I have well over 100 backgrounds and if i wanted to add a whole folder of backgrounds at this time i have to add one at a time and it is very time consuming. As i recall this has been brought up in the past by a few people but i don't ever remember seeing a bug on it. At this time it took forever to add 15 backgrounds and i have not finished yet. If there is any more info needed please let me know.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open System -> Appearances -> Background (or themes ect..)
2. Click Add and start adding them one by one

What should happen at least what would be great to happen:
Open System -> Appearances -> Background tab
Have a button to add a folder
Click the add folder button
Browse to folder desired and add it

This is already possible for backgrounds using standard file selector functionality (ie. hold Ctrl/Shift when selecting files). For themes, there's bug 124554.
