It explains the behavior of setting a background image

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

As the attached video shows, if I want to set a particular image located in any folder, gnome copies that file into a folder named "wallpapers" to be able to use it and then if I copy another image or try to use the same file I used before, gnome is creating a copy of the same file to set it as the background image, so this is so wrong because the idea is to have one single file anywhere in the home folder and gnome shouldn't copy that image AGAIN into this folder I don't want to have since it should set it directly where the file is located.

Please at least make some attempt to read the description of components before filing bugs. For gnome-desktop, it says:
"The libgnome-desktop library, some core docs, ".desktop" files and graphics files/icons. This is NOT drawing the desktop."
