Bug Description

Variety is configured to recursively read images from the following directories:

./config/variety/Favorites
~/pics/background (contains 3 sub directories with pics)
~/pics/aria_giovanni

However, variety - which is configured for random image display - never displays images from the "aria giovanni" directory.

This occurs even when I place a symbolic link in ~/pics/background which points to ~/pics/aria_giovanni

I can send the config file on request...

Please turn off any type of filtering from "Color and size" tab - by default Variety is set to use landscape-sized images only.

If this does not help, please do send the config file, and also a log file - run Variety with "-v" flag, let it run for some time, try to change the wallpaper 10 times, confirm no pics from aria_giovanni have been shown, the log file will be in ~/.config/variety/variety.log, attach it here along with the config file.

Thank you Mr. Levi.

I am running Variety with the -v flag now.  The config file is attached.
 Sincerely,

Please turn off any type of filtering from "Color and size" tab - by
default Variety is set to use landscape-sized images only.

If this does not help, please do send the config file, and also a log
file - run Variety with "-v" flag, let it run for some time, try to
change the wallpaper 10 times, confirm no pics from aria_giovanni have
been shown, the log file will be in ~/.config/variety/variety.log,
attach it here along with the config file.
