I don’t think so. You can copy them direct to /usr/share/backgrounds/your-folder Then they should be available all at once.
Just do it as sudo/root and control that your new sub-folder there has the same owner/user rights as the other once.
If you do this way you have them system wide available. If you copy them from your home/pictures they are just for your user available and just when you are logged in.
why do i need to do these extra procedures in hidden files for something that worked flawlessly in fedora 35 via settings > appearance > background > add picture ???
not really sure if this is a fedora issue or a gnome problem.
However it is, before we can talk about the why we need to know how exactly you try to do it and from which source folder to what destination you want to upload. And also how you made it in
F35. I think if you want to select more than one file you need to browse the folder.
If you don’t have the rights to do so this could be the reason why it is just possible to select one picture?!
So please more details, for a bug request we need to be able to reproduce the issue.

Yes. I linked the rpm package that was in the testing repository at the time. Now it is in the stable repository. And you have it.
And yes, this version 42.3-1 doesn’t contain Joe’s patch, because
