Description Répási Dávid 2025-06-11 13:39:37 UTC 
SUMMARY

When selecting wallpapers for slideshows it's quite annoying to aim the mouse to the corner for each pre-selected image when adding a folder, clicking on the whole bounding box for the image would make it so much easier to choose the desired selection. (the box should stay, showing what is already in the selection)
When you are in the "image" mode in the wallpaper type you already select by clicking anywhere within the image, this change would make the two selection panels feel closer to each other.
