Waste of time. I already have tons of things that can set a wallpaper; I need something that can do it LIKE A BROWSER.

This is a pretty good app. If you are having problems with it, remember, you get to it through the "open" menu on the file browser, not the right click menu. Also, this app is designed for Chrome OS, so if you're running Chrome on another OS, this app is probably not going to work for you, and you shouldn't expect it to.
