I see, looks like I wasn't talking about the same thing then.

In the OP image there's thumbnails missing in each image, replaced with a default image file logo. THAT has been working for a while. I'm at work so I can't screenshot but I found this image from the internet. I misunderstood the issue since I hardly even read the description there.

Yeah, let's just install at least 300MB of packages just to get basic functionality from a file picker. This is coming from someone a little organized despite having 50k+ of images on the main picture directory. It's unacceptable and worse part is that people have tried to fix the problem with their own code, but the devs refuse to merge it because of >standards.

You clearly don't have that many images, don't you? There are also countless of screenshots, I can't remember every frame from every episode I've watched, I wouldn't be here if so.

>>58711233
Exactly. KDE has the functionality for the thumbnails, but I'm not a huge fan of the entire environment.

I never used to be, but after using Plasma 5 for half a year now, I don't think I can use anything else anymore.

>>58711466
Your fault for using a DE cucked by GTK. If you were using KDE or LXQt you wouldn't have to pull additional dependencies to get the file picker.

This is where it all falls apart. I don't care enough about the thumbnails to submit to those terrible DEs.

>>58711693
Keep crying for Red Hat to add thumbnails to their shitty file picker then (they won't) instead of pulling some dependencies or installing a better DE altogether and get your thumbnails immediately.

>>58710362

Unlike some dumber OS you can actually decide how large you want to see thumbnails ad hoc and use a detailed list view at the same time.

The issue OP is talking about is NOT the little shitty thumbnails in gnome's file picker not showing.

The problem is that they are little and shitty. You cannot make out detail in an image, especially if two thumbnails are similar.

No, the hover preview is not a replacement for a proper thumbnail view.

Pic Related, proper thumbnail view.

>>58713696
this post should serve as a tl;dr for the thread

>>58713414
hahahahaahaha.. .where's the fucking thumbnails view, retard? do you even know what a thumbnails view looks like?

>>58713837
Of course he doesn't, he's never had that functionality

>>58713696
KDE has no problem with this, you got a slider on the upper right to scale the thumbnails smaller/larger and it works in all modes. List view, tiled, whatever.

>>58713696
It's obviously better if there is a large thumbnail view available but when combining filenames, the small thumbnail and the preview panel it's usually still pretty painless to find the right picture. Not defending the lack of it, but this might be why everyone doesn't even realize they're missing and don't immediately know what people are talking about.

the lengths people will go to to use free software never cease to amaze me

>>58713961
That's from OSX 10.7... it's way different now and looks much better. Sorry, that's all I could find though image search (don't have macOS machine here).

Maybe someone who has Sierra can post a recent pic of what Open File looks like now?

>>58713986
What? That was the default view which has been posted in this thread as well. You can see the filename, small thumbnail and the preview.

People that don't want to settle for the defaults can do something about it, unlike in other systems. You have to like the defaults because they aren't changing. This creates post-purchase rationalization that "I-I wanted it JUST like that anyway".

>>58714057
To be fair, 4chan filenames are awful for this sort of thing. And since the thumbnail for ants isn't enough to visually identify an image at a glance (the point of this thread), you're kind of left with just previewing every picture in a folder.

>>58711026
It's not exactly a secret that Firefox does not support the KDE file picker and explicitly uses the GTK file picker. Unless you have the SUSE patch that forces it to use KDE file picker, you are full of shit.

If only you plebs would actually vote for the firefox-kde-opensuse package in the AUR so we could get it in the official repos.

>>58711197
Well, if it isn't then it should've been quick and easy to fix, right?

Linux is a kernel and doens't have anything to do with a desktop environment.

Also, this is not a bug report but a feature request posted at the wrong place. It's not implemented because literally needs this. The only reason this autist posted the """bug'''''' report is because he actually just wants windows.

Why would Gnome devs be conerned with such a useless feature instead of fixing critical problems that still plagues their software?

Realize that fucking NOONE but a drooling imageboard user with bazillions of garbage anime pics that are-same-but-different-but-same needs such feature. We're talking 0,04% of an already tiny userbase. 100 people on this planet tops?

The only reason I would't stick with linux was because from any browser, on the upload picture window, it wouldn't display thumbnails.
Yes, the file explorer that came with the system would display thumbnails but from any software, it wouldn't.
It was a limitation of I dunno what, but I never got a way to work around this.

let me see.

i shitopst /g/ since 2008, most of the time i put graphics in my posts.

i use exclusively linux and i do not see any problem with no thumbnails.

one of the first things i disabled when i used windows was thumbnails because it uses too much resources to generate over 100k thumbnails every time a folder was opened.

>>58727722
this is a windows issue... especially with the downloads folder.

it's actually one of the reasons i switched to linux

>>58727722
Nah, that's just Windows' file explorer being dogshit. Thunar opens everything super fast, but it has some problems. Even nemo does it fairly quickly compared to explorer.exe.
