use case for thumbnails in the file picker?

Minor DE and old legacy packages with their own non-standard file browsers all of them have thumbnail, and in current year it uses ffmpeg thumbnailer that is excellent.

you could have birthed a kid that births your grandkid at 12 years old and ends up being a computer genius who fixes it in less time.

No it's just retarded gnome full of retarded devs.

Intelligent people use either KDE desktop or deboated windows.

Does any linux user even still feel offended by OP given the fact that file picker thumbnails have been working for at least 8 years? These threads always feel like some flat earthers trying to make fun of scientist while the scientist just ignore them. Or are these threads just from bots?

Are you guys really not aware they fixed this years ago? Update your bots.

what's wrong with ardour? Admittedly, I've never done anything more complicated than mix my band's demos on it.

I genuinely have this problem still on endeavouros xfce thunar file manager.

I think it's still a legit issue until proven otherwise

I thought Plasma 6 had this now; and it was only GTK-3 based shit, like Mint that was still in the dark ages?

We have Bitwig and Reaper, though.

I swear Ubuntu 22 and 24 don't have this. I'm gonna check right now.

I'm pretty sure file pickers show the image in the OP for 22 and 24

>>106624849
Kubuntu 24.04, the current LTS definitely doesn't have it, but that's because it's still on Plasma 5. The most recent regular should have it though, being on 6 iirc. Maybe a similar thing for Ubuntu with gnome.

use case? just drag&drop from your favorite file manager with thumbnails

This is the file picker "with" thumbnails. 4x4 pixel thumbnails.

When? Please help!

>>106623854

where have I seen this before

>>106625255
Set it to thumbnail view instead of list view.

Ubuntu has it. The problem with Linuxfags is they're all a bunch of vain autists who use it to feel special. This means they deliberately chase obscure distros and needless complexity that they use to gatekeep others. If they all united and got behind one distro like ubuntu instead it could become developed enough to compete with Windows and MacOS, a true 3rd option.

I'm in the process of migrating my daily driver from Mint Cinnamon to Debian KDE as we speak. Had the latter on my spare laptop for a while now. There's a fair bit to set up initially though, compared to Kubuntu; you might be better off with the latter, depends on you. Avoid the Kubuntu LTS though, if you want Plasma 6.

>>106626596
>better off with Kubuntu
Sorry, a bit monged.

Linux is a tranny os and was most likely the favorite OS of the Charlie Kirk shooter

>>106626486
Open about:config in firefox's address bar and set widget.use-xdg-desktop-portal.file-picker to 1. That will tell it to use the portal.
If your portal's filepicker doesn't have thumbnails, then you have to install a new portal and configure xdg-desktop-portal to use it, which is a bit more complicated. The only file picker I know of that handles the confusing config stuff for you is >>106625545

>>106626622
1.5/10 bait

>>106626596
Also, temp workaround, you might easily be able to drag-drop images from a file explorer window into the file upload dialogue, if Gnome is anything like Cinnamon in that respect. With dual monitors it's really not a pain at all, if you have; but even without it's not too much arseache.

>thumbnail
That's a pinkynail dude.

I read the thread and still can't tell if OP's pic is true or not. I thought Linux Mint was supposed to be the easiest one to use, and it can't handle thumbnails???

>>106627670
Linux Mint is one of the few distros without thumbnails in file picker, since all its desktop environments are based on gtk3.

>>106627703
Ubuntu as well? Fuck. I'm specifically waiting to get a new m.2 for a Linux install and now I'm not sure anymore.

>>106627716
Ubuntu should work, though I heard there could be some quirks still like needing to load thumbnails in regular file manager first. Sometimes thumbnails will not load even on DEs that 100% have thumbnails like KDE and LXQt because the app overrides it with the gtk portal or whatever, so you need to tinker the settings to get it working.

>>106627670
With regard to Mint Cinnamon, the op pic is 100% true. Mint is relatively easy to use, for most things, but it's not the distro for cutting edge features and with regard to something like tiled thumbnails in the file upload dialogue, that's still quite fresh to all Linux distros.

>>106627716
Ubuntu works but you need to edit the Firefox config, as discussed already in the thread.

>>106623786
Gnome has the best thumbnails now.

>>106623757 (OP)
that is not what the 2001 OS X file picker looked like. this style came in 2013 with Yosemite. But yes, it did have thumbnails, like the other serious OS (windows)

>>106623874
>>106623861
They didn't fix this. Gnome's filepicker can't generate thumbnails on the fly, you need to have seen that file in Nautilus at least once. lmao

>>106630471
You can just use a thumbnail generator, you can even set it up to run regularly. You don't have to ever view it in a file manager

1.save image with tags in filename
2.use script to import tags filename in tmsu

>>106623861
use tags

>>106630508
You shouldn't have to set anything up in order to have thumbnails for every single image and video file on your filepicker. It's the kind of thing that should, unironically, just werk.
Gnome is embarassing the rest of the Linux community.

>>106630588
It should but it doesn't. It's an incredibly simple fix though so there is that
