How to select “Other” Folder in XFCE when changing Desktop background?












0















This is very relevant.



Debian 9 XFCE - directory with wallpapers cannot be browsed



The accepted answer offers several solutions to work around this problem, but none address the actual issue.



Any visible folder in the "Select a File" window are all grayed out and are not possible to select.



This forces the user to either use one of the predefined choices for hardcoded folder paths.



Am I simple unable to operate this modern fantastical interface, or is this indeed a bug I should report?
