Description Will Senn 2025-01-10 15:20:23 UTC

Description of problem:
When I right click on the desktop, choose Change Desktop Background, it doesn't show any wallpapers.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
cinnamon-5.6.8-2.el9.src.rpm

How reproducible:
as described, every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Right click on the desktop
2. Choose Change Desktop Background
3. Click on any folder or add one

Actual results:
Nothing is displayed and nothing can be chosen as background


Expected results:
Images to choose as background should appear

Additional info:
This has been addressed in other ports:

https://salsa.debian.org/cinnamon-team/cinnamon/-/commit/6172cacec9d5012ad056606406ebbf73e3ae1a35

The workaround found in the patch is to edit:
/usr/share/cinnamon/cinnamon-settings-users/cinnamon-settings-users.py
/usr/share/cinnamon/cinnamon-settings/bin/imtools.py
/usr/share/cinnamon/cinnamon-settings/modules/cs_backgrounds.py
/usr/share/cinnamon/cinnamon-settings/modules/cs_user.py

and change instances of Image.ANTIALIAS to Image.LANCZOS

This works and the problem is solved in my case.
