Mojave System Preferences Not Working

When I went to Mojave, I can no longer go to a picture folder in Screensaver/Desktop in System Preferences and have it appear. I just get the default pictures. A giant step backward.

OSX Yosemite Desktop and Screen Saver Issue When I call up "Desktop and Screen Saver" it starts just fine. When I select "Photos" or "Photo Library" only a few pics show up and play over and over. However, when I call up the "Pictures" app, all of our hundreds of photos show up just fine. It appears the "Desktop and Screen Saver" function in System Preferences is pointing to a different folder and I cannot change it nor is than option in the drop down menu to select the correct folder. Any Suggestions?The problem is only showing on my wife's computer. I have a mac book pro and the screen saver works fine.ThanksRay

Mojave keeps reverting wallpaper So I have two virtual desktops on my MBP running Mojave. I open System Preferences and set one desktop to a directory of images that is supposed to rotate randomly every hour. I close System Preferences, go to the second desktop, open System Preferences, do the same thing except with a different directory of images. Now, when I close System preferences and go back to virtual desktop 1 the wallpaper reverts to a default Apple one (ugly shapes). Switch to virtual desktop 2 and it does the same thing! What the crap?!?!? I've deleted the following file multiple times (logging and out and restarting afterwords): ~/Library/Application Support/Dock/desktoppicture.db However, that doesn't seem to help at all. Since "repairing permissions" in OS X isn't a thing anymore I don't know what to do other than continue to look at the fugly "shapes" that Apple calls wallpapers!

I'm not sure to have understood the question correctly but to go to a "picture folder" you can simply click on the plus button in the settings. See the photo below
