I want a new Wallpaper: By default, go to ~/Pictures

Currently when getting new Wallpapers, the Wallpapering dialogue goes to ~/Pictures (at least in a Fedora 27 KDE configuration). 

Better: Allow configuring the default wallpaper directory, possibly in the "System Configuration" supermenu.

(Actually, allow setting an URI including a file:// URI and a time interval so that it is updated automatically at fixed intervals and ... nah, too complex for such a use case)

What's wrong with defaulting to your Pictures folder?
Comment 2 David Tonhofer 2018-02-06 22:16:42 UTC
Well, the Pictures folder is actually just a work folder (it contains screenshots among other), not a repository of Wallpapers, which are somewhere in an Archive folder.

I'm not adding a UI option to choose a directory to later choose files from. That's overcomplicating the UI for little gain.

Making it open the last used folder is doable.

That seems sensible to me.

Sounds cool.
