Version of Variety

0.8.5

Describe the bug

I noticed the other day, in my wallpaper folder there are thousands of files (variety-copied-wallpaper-xxxxxxx) where x is a random string of numbers and letters. There are also several copies that are identical but with a different name. Is this normal?

Context

Not sure if it copies every wallpaper or not

To Reproduce

  1. This is happening all the time. Consistently copies the wallpapers

I ended up deleting these duplicated files. Is the creation of variety-copied files normal?
