          @wolfgangw Are you using Opera GX by chance? There seems to be an issue regrading wallpapers that is affecting some users.

              @wolfgangw latest version is 99.0.4788.31/, check if the problem still happens in that version.

                  Can't you solve my problem that some pictures (about 10%) are suitable as a background and others (about 90%!) not??
                  However, all downloaded images are available as thumbnails!!

                        @wolfgangw Most logical guess would be to think of something related to format and size.

                          What a pity that you cannot help me!
                          It's very strange:
                          All images are formatted in JPEG, various sizes!
                          And yet some (about 10%) are accepted as background, others are not (although the same size)!!
                          Maybe it's OPERA?

                            @wolfgangw If you upload the problem images somewhere, we can test to see if we have the same issue in our Operas or not.

                              Same issue in a test standalone installation?

                                  @wolfgangw Those all work for me, but it looks like the forum modifies them etc. Can you zip up the 3 pics, upload the zip file somewhere and link to it?

                                    I tried but the zip file won't link.
                                    the following message:
                                    "ERROR: You do not have sufficient permission to perform this action!"
                                    So far I thank you for your help and the associated time!

                                      @wolfgangw You can't upload a Zip file here, you need to upload it some other place and post the link to it here, as said

                                          How does it work?:
                                          'upload somewhere else and post the link to it here'.
                                          I've tried different ways but it doesn't work!!
