Recurring issue being unable to select wallpaper images

Post by glitchathon »

Hi there,
I am on Mint 17 Xfce Edition for the past year and a half. Every now and then, I get into a situation where I am unable to select background images in the Desktop settings are. Please see attached photo. That folder should have at least 20 images to choose from. Sometimes I go in and they are all there to select. Othertimes, I go in and it looks like the attached photo. With just a blue square selecting some unviewable image and I am unable to browse and select any of them.

Does anyone know what is happening and how to fix this?

Thanks!

Hi there,
Thanks for the feedback. The path in the settings editor is correct and verified through Thunar. And this is a sporadic issue (sometimes I can see the wallpapers othertimes I can't), and I have never changed the wallpaper path.

Attached is a screenshot.
