Can't Select ALL Photos for Mac Wallpaper

Here is what I posted almost a year ago:

Before upgrading to Sonoma, I had my wallpaper cycling through all my photo albums. Now, I have not been able to set that up. Screen saver seems to work fine, cycling through all my photos.

Either it has yet to be fixed or I am doing something wrong. I can only select photos to cycle through my wallpaper one by one, not albums, folders or library. There have been numerous OS upgrades over the past year without fixing this. My current OS is Sonoma 14.6.1.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 14.6

I appreciate your prompt response; however, that limit does not compute.

1. Over the past few months, I have been using 2 finger click on the desktop (Wallpaper) > Change Wallpaper > Add Photo to add several photos from the Photos app each day. I am currently up to 115 photos which shuffle through my wallpaper.

2. When I click Add Folder or Album, add an album(s) from the Photos app then click shuffle (the circular 2 arrow symbol), my wallpaper changes to the Sonoma photo & nothing else. The wallpaper feature of the OS in broken.

3. All 2500 of my photos shuffled through my wallpaper before Sonoma.

4. I don’t intend to individually add 2400 more photos. Apple should restore the pre Sonoma functionally.

Let me know if you are seeing the 50 limit on your Mac.

Thanks again for you attention.

If you have more than 50 photos then there is a max of 50 photos on shuffle
