Description Daniel 2017-08-15 11:18:49 UTC 
For instance, if I right-click the image `~/Pictures/Wallpapers/somefile.jpg`, it'll also create `~/Pictures/Wallpapers/somefile (copy).jpg`.

This is bad. It creates unnecessary clutter, and if the user deletes the copied image, the wallpaper no longer displays too.

Instead, the image should be copied to a system directory somewhere where it's out of the way.


OS: Ubuntu 17.04 64-bit

And not only that, if I right-click another image and set it as my wallpaper, the old copied image isn't deleted. I need to manually delete it myself.
