I had the same problem. Seems like you have to add the picture into the background in Appearance of gnome-control-center instead of setting the image as background i.e. add it into ~/.local/share/backgrounds

have same problem, ubuntu 22.04, gnome 42

it seems like, if "picture-uri" in gsettings doesn't starts with "file://", extension will fail with this error, even if background has changed

Great catch!

I think this should be fixed now with commit 4e62021, I assumed that the gsettings key picture-uri would always yield a uri with file:// at the beginning so that was causing issues with the code to convert that URI to a normal path when the file:// is missing. It now checks if the conversion is necessary before doing it. It seems that when a wallpaper is set through nautilus the picture-uri is a normal file path and it also doesn't send a wallpaper changed event.
