No wallpapers in Background selection dialog in cinnamon DE
So I decided to use cinnamon desktop on my arch linux, I've read this wiki page about Cinnamon. And it helped me understand to install the needed packages from official pacman repo like "metacity & gnome-shell" and aur repo like "mint-artwork" which installed all the official linux mint's wallpaper of every releases, problem is when I right click on desktop and select "Change Desktop Background" and dialog box opens to select wallpapers usually from this location "/usr/share/backgrounds", no matter on which folder i click from the left side it doesn't show any wallpapers in the preview area, but i can see the wallpapers in that location if browsed through file manager. I don't know what's causing this? Anyone who uses cinnamon can help this newbie cinnamon user? I am also attaching this Screenshot!

Yep, same issue with fresh install on every recent distro I used. I use workaround by simply finding the picture, right click and Set as Background.
