Description Mantas Mikulėnas (grawity) 2013-06-19 16:00:58 UTC 
It appears that using "Set as Wallpaper" in Nautilus now copies the file to ~/Pictures/Wallpapers. However, all of my wallpapers are *already* in there, so every time I use that option, I end up receiving a new copy of my wallpaper. "foo.jpg", "foo (copy).jpg", "foo (another copy).jpg", "foo (3rd copy).jpg", etc. etc. This is highly annoying.

I'm not entirely sure why this copying is needed; I wonder if it could be disabled at least for files that are already in ~/Pictures or *at least* for ~/Pictures/Wallpapers.
