Can't select images for my XFCE4 desktop not bookmarked in Thunar file manager

Hi there.

I am using SparkyLinux 4.2 Xfce x86_64, kernel 4.2.0-1-amd64 on an Acer Aspire 5745G Laptop using the xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 1:1.0.11-1+b1                       amd64 X.Org X server -- Nouveau display driver. My problem is that I can't select images for my XFCE4 desktop which are not bookmarked in Thunar file manager. When I right click on my desktop and select "Desktop Settings", click on "Folder", then click on "Other..." the image filenames appear but the icons for some strange reason are "greyed out" and thus un-selectable. If I want to use those images for my desktop, I have to go to the Thunar file manager and add that folder to my Thunar bookmarks.

Thanks for your help in advance.
