No fix for Wallpaper issue, still can't select a folder of pictures to be used as Wallpapers. I can't believe this wasn't fixed. This whole OS was touted as giving us new ways to customize our visual experience of Mac OS but taking away as simple a feature as using your own folder of pictures as background/Desktop images is simply ludicrous.
EDIT: Found the fix. Move your folder of pictures somewhere else, give Wallpaper a minute, move it back to where it was and now you can select "Your Photos". Jeepers creepers Apple, please get some beta testers who are older than 14, maybe add some testers who have been around since Day 1 who used ResEdit to make their folder outlines darker and customized their environment with every System upgrade before getting down to any serious work. That as simple a feature as this had to be solved with any kind of workaround is completely unacceptable and indicative of an out of control/haphazard spiral where things are rushed simply to bring a slew of new features across the finish line. Steverino is truly spinning in his urn.
FURTHER EDIT: It is still a mess, can't delete old folders listed in Wallpaper, selected folder does not "stick", keeps reverting to Tahoe wallpaper. So much for customizing my Mac the way I want to. You might think much ado about nothing but this mess is emblematic of what a horrorshow Apple software has become.
FINAL EDIT: Actually took the time to wipe my M1 Mini and reinstall Sequoia and then Tahoe. I can select a folder of pictures but guess what? It doesn't take hold/stick/work, it's like the OS can't make the connection and then just gives up. I can't even set a single picture to be the Desktop pic. Tim Cook and the entire Mac OS software team should be forced to parade naked through the Halls of Cupertino until they fix this. Utterly unacceptable.
