Description Sevenseraphim 2026-01-30 05:49:50 UTC
Requesting the ability to toggle hide/show the default system wallpapers since some people will never use them but they clutter up the available wallpaper selection that has been manually added by the user to the desktop image choices. Currently they are all randomly mixed together.

Hiding them is preferable to outright deleting them so that there are fallback wallpapers in case anything™ happens.

If we implemented wallpaper groups as suggested in bug 515293 then the default system wallpapers could be in their own group. The group could have an option to be hidden.

I'll pass this along for consideration.
