When I choose a wallpaper from the Wallpaper dialog (Wallpaper Type: Image) I see a list of thumbnails but not the possibility to find out where exactly these images are located. Use-case: for a nice wallpaper, it would be nice to share it with someone else or make modifications to it. Getting quick access to the location on disk would be helpful.
Right-clicking it perhaps should offer you the same "Properties", "Show in folder" context menu you would get for files? Perhaps also drag and drop of the images should be supported. Usability, what do you think?
Context menu with 'Open in file manager' or 'Save as...' sounds good. Would expect more than only one function in a context menu, though. If just the information is enough a tooltip would be sufficient. Drag 'n drop is likely not what users know by heart.
- A "Show in folder" action would be very helpful. - Currently, when hovering the mouse over custom-added wallpapers a "Delete" button appears in the upper right corner.This could be the place where the "Show in folder" action could be added. (Currently there is no context menu) - Currently, the tooltip shows the title of the image. Even if it contained also the path it would be more complicated to use it to find the image on disk. - The standard context menu for image files would be helpful to directly copy the image to clipboard or to invoke the "Properties" dialog which also contains the (copyable) location of the containing folder.
