Desktop settings' slideshow configuration uses file browser instead of folder browser

[Oded Arbel]

On vivid, with Plasma 2 shell, when configuring the desktop to have a slideshow background, the button "Add Folder" opens a file browser, with which it is impossible to select a folder (pressing "Open" on a folder shows the content of the folder).

See attached screenshot

This bug is very old, if it remains an issue please update the bug with info from a supported release.

This is no longer an issue for me on Plasma 6. If this is still relevant in Kubuntu 24.04, I'm sure someone else will report it.
