Description Janet 2010-12-05 12:31:07 UTC

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.4) 
OS:                Linux

When I want to use a BMP as desktop wallpaper or for a picture frame and drag it onto the desktop the desktop doesn't recognize that it is a picture. It doesn't offer the usual picture menu but instead just creates a desktop element.

Reproducible: Always

Comment 4 Anne-Marie Mahfouf 2012-06-19 13:32:50 UTC

Confirmed on Beta 2
Although when you drag a .bmp from Dolphin directly into the Frame widget, the .bmp is set up as image in the widget.
