Why linux doesn't have thumbnails? It's a basic feature
Why linux doesn't have thumbnails? It's a basic feature
Carson Johnson
Oliver Lewis
linux is a kernel, it doesn't even have a UI, nevermind implement thumbnails
if you meant qt or gtk, both of those have configurable file pickers that you can add thumbnails to if you want
Cameron Ward
GTK does not have a customisable default system file picker, at least it still didn't a few months ago when I last checked. You need to use something completely removed from the gnome environment, slapping a new DE on something like Mint wont do the trick
Carson Barnes
How do you add thumbnails to gtk file picker? This guys says you can't
Jonathan Gray
I don't recommend going down the rabbit hole of looking into this because you'll just end up at the same posts on gnomes forums where this screenshot was taken from. The GTK devs don't care enough about the default file picker to fix the problem, even though it makes the default web browsing experience markedly worse using any of the distros they work with
Tyler Price
So what you're saying is it is true that linux doesn't have thumbnails?
Isn't linux advertised as desktop OS now? How when you can't even post a picture like a normal person?
Colton Nelson
David Cox
Gtk and gnome are deprecated, hopefully we will quickly transition everything to Qt then everything will be fine
Aaron Ross
I don't know,but it doesn't seem to hinder any of you retards from spamming that image daily.
Carson Powell
No, linux is a kernel, not an OS
Ryan Rogers
Anything using GTK has the problem, I might move off Mint because of it but yes you're right, for effected users it's a joke.
Robert Turner
Gavin Gomez
If that's file select dialog, where's the Open button?
Isn't that what flagship of linux desktop is using? Ubuntu? Seems like some conflicting info
Carson Cooper
>transition everything to Qt
Freudian slip much, you degenerate? Hormones won't make you a woman.

It's a file manager
Heres the file open dialog
Gavin Foster
Oh ok cool. I might try linux if that's true, what do I have to do to get this to work?
Will I have thumbnails when posting a picture from Firefox?
Matthew Morales
>what do I have to do to get this to work?
You have to
1. use KDE and no other DE like gnome
2. use a distro that has a custom firefox which works with the KDE file picker
So your options are fairly limited, opensuse is probably your best choice
Eli Gutierrez
Make sure you avoid anything that uses Gnome. You'll get a good file picker on any distro that by default uses KDE.

why am I not suprised?

Turns out there are people who like animu on animu imageboards.
How surprising.
Jacob Martinez
You both realize this goal-post moving retard is just trying to bait people into saying Linux is shit because some pieces of software don't listen to their userbase, right?
Daniel Torres
>why am I not surprised?
probably because you're on an anime website
Nolan Russell
It's worth mentioning either way because it is a major problem with gnome, don't care that this is a troll thread as so few people actually explain the problem accurately in normal threads, it always devolves into >well it works on MY machine
Juan Cox
it does have thumbnails
Angel Allen
>He thinks a preview panel is a thumbnail
Kek
Jack Campbell
Qt is more superior, right? Then how do I make qutebrowser use a proper dialog?
not baiting but pls help me
Matthew Harris
what the literal fuck is the difference?
you see what the image is before you post it
Austin Young
The purpose of having thumbnails is to be able to view all the pictures all at once, not one at a time.
Nicholas Bailey
problem with previews is that you can only see one at a time
Ian James
If you seriously don't understand the difference between thumbnails and a single image preview panel, you are beyond saving.
Jaxson Myers
Probably has more to do with that particular DE or file manager than with Linux.
Jaxon Kelly
Trust me it's very frustrating if you need to upload from a browser often
Jonathan Torres
tag your images
Luke Lewis
It requires some little known trickery. I'll help you though. Open up the calculator app and type 55378008. Now, without hitting enter, quickly go to your screenshhot tool and snap a shot of the calculator screen. Rotate the image 180 degrees. Next open a terminal and type what exactly what you see in the screenshot and hit enter.
Michael Moore
the gtk devs suck
there was a patch but it didn't get merged

Nicholas Ross
KDE distro? Can't I just install Ubuntu? I can't say that I'm exactly tech savvy but I used Ubuntu and it's relatively ok.
But why do I have to use custom Firefox? It doesn't have thumbnails by default? I'm quite surprised I must say, isn't Firefox a Linux project? I can see thumbnails in Firefox on Windows, I'm honestly quite confused as to why do I have to install some custom version on its native OS.
Austin Torres
Ubuntu's Unity is hardly a flagship. And while it was moving in the Qt direction (they never got there, though), they scrapped Unity and are now 100% GNOME. Ubuntu just uses GNOME with a fresh coat of paint. No Qt anywhere to be found, everything is GNOME, JavaScript, CSS, and cancer.
Matthew Bailey
Because Firefox is garbage written by sjw tranny faggots but you already knew that.
Use a KDE and its native web browser Falkon. Then have file picker thumbnails to your autistic content.
Leo Barnes
Did Ubuntu ever bring back that dank AF brown and orange theme? That was the best part of Ubuntu.
Isaac Gonzalez
Not sure, haven't used Ubuntu in a minute. Found this screenshot of the latest version, but it's only got the orange.
Cooper Anderson
You can edit GTK filepicker, so it calls KDialog.
Christian Allen
but how, user
BUT
HOW
Jaxon Ramirez
Media creation software on linux is pretty terrible, so there's no need to make a good file browser or file picker which has decent thumbail support.
Jack Green
Hmm... okay so I can't use Ubuntu, I can't use Firefox. I must admit this whole thing isn't looking too user friendly, besides I thought Linux was all about freedom yet you're saying I'm forced to use very specific set of apps to get basic functionality you would expect using a computer.
I'm still not convinced Linux isn't some experimental OS for hobbyists.
Leo Rodriguez
It's not, when you drag&drop from a proper filemanager.
Caleb Richardson
Nobody's trying to convince you of anything. There's one autistic software package, so if you don't want to deal with autism, surprise surprise, you can't choose that one. You of course can choose it if you like, but then you have to deal with autism. You not having your ideal choice available doesn't mean you don't have a choice. Go bait someone else.

Joseph Wright

Nolan Bennett
Le epic parachute escape.
John Brown
Autistic? Man why are you insulting me? And how is this autistic? This is something I use on a daily basis, my work requires me to upload tens sometimes even hundreds of pictures a day (plans and textures). It is probably what everyone uses, I can't even imagine how could you possibly use tumblr or pinterest without having thumbnails in file select dialog.
Wow my Linux adventure really is off to a good start. Very welcoming community.
Gabriel Jackson
nice assessment there, asswipe
Xavier Hill
I wasn't calling you autistic then but I sure am now.
Carter Butler
>tumblr or pinterest
/thread
baits out of the bag.
time to go home.
Connor Perry
Because Firefox is retarded and will always use the GTK file picker even when you're running KDE.
Christian Ross
Fuck off linux is full.
John Robinson
I know this is bait, but I do think this accurately reflects the IQ of the average Windows user. Having to help some people with the task "open your browser" is like pulling teeth. I wish there was another cryptolock purge to force these people to tablets for good.
James Jones
Wait, so OP's bait aside, there is no way to have thumbnails in a file picker unless I'm using KDE and no using Firefox?
Luis Reyes
It sure looked like it.
Hold up. Are you saying that majority of people don't use tumblr and pinterest? What world do you live in?
Oh okay so it doesn't have thumbnails. Hm that really is unfortunate. But in this case how can a regular person use this so-called Linux desktop?
Isaac Perez
>There's one autistic software package
Are you a software package?
Anthony Gray
You could've been implying that user of autistic package (native Linux web browser?) is autistic by extension.
Regardless, what programs CAN I use then? Does anything work properly on Linux? If not I'll just stay on Windows.

Dolphin (KDE's file manager) does, don't know about others. It's a great file manager.
Samuel Robinson
>Oh okay so it doesn't have thumbnails. Hm that really is unfortunate. But in this case how can a regular person use this so-called Linux desktop?
Open the file manager, and drag and drop. How do you move files from one directory to another? Oh, look, same concept.
Elijah Sanchez
Op here. Glad you guys liked my thread. Unfortunately, none of you will make it very far in life falling for such obvious bait. But thanks for keeping me entertained on a slow Monday!

Sorta jumping to conclusions aren't we? Are you a tumblrina too? Or do you use imgur exclusively?

How embarrassing.

It a web standard at this point you fucking moron. You would know if you browsed anything else than Jow Forums.

William Lopez
You're right, that's open source for you, if you don't like, or want to add something, you can do it.
Owen Russell
Neat I'll try to build this on debian and I'll report back. There are control files attached so it should be a breeze
Adrian Campbell
>haha linuxfags have the option to modify software and features they want!
Christian Phillips
>It's open source so you shouldn't complain
People complain because even Windows had these kinds of features almost 20 years ago.
Why would anyone choose to maintain their own patched repo when they could just use a better OS?
Aaron Taylor
You literally can't unless you code it yourself.
