Which Linux DEs currently support thumbnail preview in the web browser file picker?
>>
None
>>
>>56907350
KDE master race only
>>
>>56907449
>KDE only
I was afraid this would be the answer. Oh well... OpenSUSE's implementation of KDE isn't a clusterfuck like most others.

You don't need that :^)

Just memorize all of your filenames, right!? The fuck are these summer-fag leftovers doing?
>>
>>56907508
KDE Neon is by far the best, since it actually comes from the KDE guys
>>
>>56907350
is this honestly not a common feature?...
>>
>>56907558
Oh sure let me memorize 1444846947901 so I can shitpost on 4chan
>>
>>56907563
Yeah but Manjaro KDE is the best tho.
>>
>>56907566
People don't drag and drop these days?

>Which Linux DEs currently support thumbnail preview in the web browser file picker?
Mac had that since 1995.
>>
>>56907566
No, neither is having all available display modes on demand in the file picker (thumbnail size slider, detail list view, list view, ...) and the option to have scaleable thumbnails IN the detailed list view.
>>
>>56907595
Mac is not a DE, toddler. Who told you about g?
>>
>>56907566
Of course not. It's an OS stuck in the 80's.
>>
>>56907563
maybe the best implementation of kde but a bad implementation of linux, it's just a hacked together kubuntu with bleeding edge kde
>>
>>56907350
Synonym does
>>
>>56907605
Aqua is. And all linux DEs are fucking toys.
>>
>>56907629
>it's just a hacked together kubuntu
factually wrong. It's Ubutu server + KDE Neon repo, lurk more

>>56907350
is this a real thread? Lol, Linux is fucking TRASH. How can you guys struggle with such shit software that doesn't even necessarily have the most basic features that have been in Mac and Windows OSes for ages?

Goddamn what a fucking waste of time.
>>
>>56907642
>Aqua is
But not since 1995 :^)
>>
>>56907647
when did they change it? when if first came out and it was being shilled like crazy here, you could install it and see that they hadn't fixed all the branding issues and many things still referred to kubuntu
>>
>>56907681
What are you talking about, mactard?
>>
>>56907669
>defullscreen browser
>open file manager
>navigate to pictures

yeah that's so much more effecient than a thumbnailed file picker that opens to photos
>>
Explorer
Has anyone tried 8, 8.1 or 10's nice Explorer via Wine in any distro?
>>
>>56907728
Instead of "Choose file" you click on "file manager" in your panel, not really any difference.
>>
>>56907350
Unity
>>
>>56907721
you seem toned down today. back on meds?
>>
>>56907743
yes it is, drag and drop is horribly inefficient and only suggested as an option because devs can't be assed to integrate thumbnails into their filepicker
>>
>>56907757
Holy shit hippie shit mactoddler on full defence. Aren't you supposed to be posting cool things on macrumors, dumb itoddler?
>>
>>56907762
>drag and drop is horribly inefficient
Tell me how

>only suggested as an option because devs can't be assed to integrate thumbnails into their filepicker
Is that why windows also allows you to use drag and drop?

How is that any different?
You click on "Choose file" to trigger a file uploader

You click on a file manager applet on the bottom of your fucking pannel to trigger the file manager

chakra's tho

>>56907958
what part of defullscreen do you not understand? lot's of people browse fullscreen and that makes it an extra fucking step that shouldn't be necessary
>>
I was compiling the Firefox KDE patches on arch for thumbnail preview, but these days I just drag my files from Dolphin.
>>
>>56908075
>lot's of people browse fullscreen
Only at fucking kiosks; nobody does that, we're not stuck at postage stamp sized resolutions anymore.
>>
>>56908075

Objectively wrong

What are keyboard shorcuts

no u!

it's fucking hilarious that linux can't even display thumbnails in a file picker.
>>
>>56907958
That's just a workaround, doesn't make the problem magically disappear.
>>
>>56908135
>what are keyboard shortcuts
Something majority of people don't want to learn.
>objectively wrong
Objectively wrong. Although it's not difficult to just resize the browser into a window and drag and drop images into it.

I use my file manager when I can't remember what folder a pic in. But i can usually tell which one I'm after by the file name or eedie beedie gtk icon. A tiling wm you may as well have your file manager open. I prefer a stacking window manager, although it has snapping winow function, the tiny previews aren't enough of a hassle to warrant it. There is a preview pane after all.
>>
So.... KDE, Cinnamon, and Unity all have thumbnail preview in the file picker? but thats it?
>>
>>56907684

Microsoft Windows 10 doesn't have this problem.

In lubuntu using midori browser you can click on 'downloads' and it gives you a location box and you can paste the location you copy from a folder of thumbnailed images you have open. It's not that hard.

Having a microsoft product connected to the web is not a very good idea. A bit of extra effort to avoid this is well worth it.
>>
And stuff like this goes to show GNU/Linux will never have widespread adoption. There's just no polish.
>>
>>56908640
No, only KDE.
>>
LXDE has it. XFCE has it. KDE, GNOME, Unity, Pantheon, Cinnamon and Mate, too.

It's a standard feature.
>>
>>56911823

You are confusing thumbnail preview in the file manager with thumbnail preview in the file picker. they are different things.
>>
>>56908173
Majority of people don't browse full screen
>>56908270
That aint messi
