Bug ID: 394882
Summary: Desktop Settings - Wallpaper -> Slideshow, shows
contents of hidden folders such as .thumbnails
Product: systemsettings
Version: 5.12.5
Platform: Neon Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: nick.craig....@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
I've no idea what product/component to put this bug report under
When selecting your wallpaper to be a slideshow of images, the program that
displays the slideshow also shows the contents of any hidden folders in the
directories that you have selected. Some photographic programs create a hidden
folder called .thumbnails in the directory containing the photos, these are of
course very low resolution images, so when the wallpaper slideshow displays the
images found in .thumbnails, full screen they of course look very blurry and of
course as there is a thumbnail image for every image in the directory, by the
law of averages every other image displayed as wallpaper is a low quality
blurry image.
To fix this problem, the desktop wallpaper slideshow feature of KDE should
ignore hidden folders or have a radio button to select/deselect hidden folders
should there be a use case that somebody requires it, I can't imagine why.
Personally, I think the desktop wallpaper feature should just ignore the
contents of hidden directories, after all they are hidden for a reason.
