Screenshot of my desktop
I've blurred the left side and inserted two screenshots of kruler to measure the size of the thumbnail.

tested here with kde 4.3.3 and it works very well. very strange.. @Holger, check it on KDE SC 4.3.3 or 4.3.4 Regards OK, now, that you've checked, that the photo is valid, I copied it to a fresh user-profile and it worked. So it's a problem in my configuration. There is only one big folder, nothing special about it ... I thought. But now I found the source: within is a hidden folder ".thumbs" containing each and every single picture again as a thumbnail. I wonder, which program created them? Can be any of: Konqueror, Dolphin, GwenView, XnView, Gimp, ... The thumbnails are dated from September 2007 ... So in an earlier versions of KDE, the hidden folder was just ignored. I wonder, what would have been the reason, to change that? For now I try to delete them. But what can I do, if the .thumb folders are recreated by some program browsing the picture collection? My apologies to blame this on Plasma. Maybe you could change this into a feature request, to explicitly ignore hidden files/folders when selecting a backgroud-image??? - Where is this ".thumbs" folder located ? There is a ".thumnails" folder in $HOME (/home/user/.thumbnails) which several applications use (as those thumbs are created by a common protocol) Are you using "Image" (only one) or "Slideshow" ? If you use the single Image format, you need to manually select the image file (and you can ignore the .thumbs version) If you use the Slideshow plugin, then , the .thumbs folder is going to be included in the "image pool". Regards You're right, there is a folder ~/.thumbnails (and BTW: it's a bad idea to open it in Dolphin, trying to get a look of the pictures, because it will recursively produce more thumbnails for the thumbnails it made before ...) But in contrast I was referring to this directory-structure with more redundant thumbnails: /home/holger/Bilder/Hintergrund /home/holger/Bilder/Hintergrund/.thumbs /home/holger/Bilder/Hintergrund/folder1 /home/holger/Bilder/Hintergrund/folder1/.thumbs /home/holger/Bilder/Hintergrund/folder2 /home/holger/Bilder/Hintergrund/folder2/.thumbs ... Second: I'm indeed using the slideshow and always have. That is why I was so surprised of KDE 4.3.2 introducing me to those hidden thumbnails, that I considered this a bug :-) Merging with bug 218876.
