Wallpaper showing KDE default wallpaper when not selected...

I have my wallpaper set to show the images in my ~/wallpaper directory.

During every rotation, the default KDE wallpaper image pops up even though it’s not enabled nor is it in the ~/wallpaper directory.

How do I get the wallpaper JUST to show the images in the ~/wallpaper directory?

Hi! Just checking - if you look at the file ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc, and search for a section header containing [org.kde.slideshow], what’s listed in the SlidePaths section? For reference, on my Neon VM, it looks like this:

For what it’s worth, what you’re describing sounds possibly related to the bug report filed here: 490648 – Default wallpaper is showed for a second after login, before slideshow starts - perhaps there’s some connection?
