Hi,

I think that it could be fun that in the backdrop list, we could add a whole
directory of backdrops. That is, people usually have a directory with only
pictures (and specifically, probably they have directory of wallpapers) e.g.
~/pics/backdrops. It were interesting that people be able to add whole directory
rather than add to the list of backdrops the backdrops one by one.

And if we modify the files of the ~/pics/backdrops then we change the list of
backdrops without touching backdrops preferences.

It's just a suggestion.

Regards, a lot,
Xan.

Browse to that directory, press ctrl-a, et voila!

Perhaps it's interesting to have non-key possibility in menus: a real button option for adding whole directory.

Because you know that witg Ctrl+a the whole directory will added, you press it, but the rest of people don't know it (I think)

Adding a graphical solution is better.

Reopen the bug if you think it could improve or mark as wishlist

Thanks,
Xan.
