No thumbnail for slideshow xml if files are in relative paths to my home directory
I made a slideshow xml like:
<background>
<static>
<duration>60</duration>
<file>Pictures/mybackground/image-0.png</file>
</static>
....................
</background>
And I added an background properties xml file in .local/share/gnome-background-properties
to register the slideshow xml. However, in GNOME settings, it appeared as solid color,
not as an image thumbnail. But setting the wallpaper to it is working.
If I replace the file paths with absolute paths, its thumbnail shows up.
Steps to reproduce:
- Make a slideshow background xml with file paths relative to your home directory
- Add an xml file in
.local/share/gnome-background-properties
- Open GNOME Settings
- Find its thumbnail
In addition, differently from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SlideshowWallpapers, relative filename paths in background properties xml files are not working.
GNOME version 3.34.2 Arch Linux
