[Bug 923364] [NEW] user-interface: unclear which background image is selected

 

Public bug reported:

Due to investigating bug 918934 found when having identical images there is no indication which one is selected. (screenshot)
Expected:
Highlight selected image.
Display complete path of image. 
Would make it unnessecary of basically opening another application to find out.

Use-case.
Have two folders which content the identical image. 
One in standard 'pictures' and one in a created custom folder e.g. 'images'.
Go to user-interface and try to select the preferred one.

## In order to test which image is displayed in unity-greeter, I had to guess which one is the one in 'pictures', assumed the second one, since I've added it later and using the one from 'images' before, which didn't display in unity-greeter.
Anyway, two remember after a few weeks or more which one is the one in 'pictures' or in 'images' may make it necessary to find out by removing either one of them.
