>Linux still can't have thumbnails in Open File dialog boxes
Why? What's preventing it? Is evil MS or Apple threatening lawsuits over thumbnails or something?
What's the deal with Linux not having thumbnail view???

Fix'd for ya.
Christopher Peterson
Linuxfag here, let me give you the most proper and shameless explanation. I hope you will understand.
>Why are there no thumbnail in file explorer
Because it's written in C. The file chooser widget is written in GTK+, which is one of the most popular C's GUI library. People know about this already.
>Why hasn't this been fixed
As a software developer, I would not touch obsolete POS language such as C, let alone GTK.
For me, it's easier to develop something else rather than fucking with obsolete featureless languagelet like C(ancer). Using C for anything but micro controllers and kernels is pants on head retarded, specially GUI. GUI is MEANT for Object Oriented Programming and C doesn't have that level of sophistication. Developing C is literally a worthless timesink because C does not have anything to offer but timesink: C has no templates, operator overloading, exception handling, type checks, runtime checks, constructors, lazy evaluations, monads and the list goes on. If you are not hacking the very language itself with macros shitting all over the source files you wouldn't trivial things such as get function overloading.
C does not have exception handling. It's meant for 80's computing and the projects that are written in C are unironically stuck in the 80's: like GTK+
Even after you have gone through the agony of using a language that is a disservice to the intelligent programmers (Linus doesn't count, he's on a different level and not everyone is Linus), you have to worry about memory safety.
C is not memory safe. As if the timesink development was not enough pain, you have to test your program for possible security vulnerability. When K&R came up with C, it was an ancient time. C's priority was being able to produce binaries that can run in an 800MHz processor with 64MiB RAM that can fit into floppies. Security was NOT a concern.
Coincidentally, KDE file chooser has thumbnails and guess what language it's written at: it's C++.
Ban C

that's a lot of words that I didn't read
John Williams
what are you guys talking about? If you run Enlightenment on your Linux then you have cool thumbnails that will even play a preview of video.
Adam Perry
Linux is a jewish scam to trick whites into supporting communism and working for free.

so what you're saying is you hate c, which is a small obsolete language that is subjectively shit
but you like c++ which is a large obsolete langage that is objectively shit

C++ is better than C(ancer) in every way possible

It is GTK limitation, Qt have thumbnails, if you want good file dialogs, try
KDE.
Actually if you want any feature, try KDE.

>Do I need to install KDE for this or will installing the file manager alone be sufficient?
Not only do you need to install full KDE system but the applications themselves have to support KDE file picker. Firefox does support it but all the other GTK apps don't. So you're back to square one.
yeah... it lacks a thumnail view.
Henry Russell
You're obviously blind. It has thumbnails. Thumbnails = miniature images, which you can clearly see and you also have an image preview while selecting.
A list display is better than tiles anyway so I don't see a problem in Ubuntu's file picker. It feels much better than any other.

more pasta, don't mind me.
Not him but the no games argument is not true anymore. Windows is the best os for gaming mostly due to most game developers are trained into developing for it with microsoft's closed APIs, so the simple process of porting a game that was developed for windows to any other platform will affect negatively the performance of the game. This with the fact that the marketshare is small compared to windows there's hardly an incentive at the moment to optimize for linux, making look as if the platform were worse for games than windows when in fact to flip the situation you'll need to change the idiosyncrasies on the industry itself.
The fact though is that the situation on linux is not nearly the same than two years ago and now those who prefer linux over windows now can play games on it, helping to break the vicious circle, but still there's a lot of things to do for linux to compete in the gaming side. I anyone wants for this to change i recommend to play the games you can on linux when possible and ask for linux ports.
I notice some people doesn't want's for this to happen but if that the case let me ask (not directed specifically to the person i'm replying): how are any of you benefited in a meaningful way with the current situation? because i consider that keeping the statu quo just to have a tool to win an argument on what OS is better is not a meaningful thing. how having less options and practically being locked to MS products benefits you?

Whether you use KDE has nothing to do with what other Linux sofware you can use. You have yet to name any actual problem. Also, there are plenty of people who use KDE. There are entire distros based on it like OpenSUSE (which is based on SUSE, an enterprise Linux distro) and Chakra (an Arch Linux fork).
If you are going to pick your DE based on what Canonical or Debian have as their default then I don't think Linux is even right for you to be honest. Just go back to OSX.
Isaac Morales
Quick question
Does Chromium in KDE use Qt dialogs or GTK dialogs
Nathan Wright
>I am a sheep and base my decisions on what other people are doing
Joseph Lopez
Some of them do. Kdenlive, digikam, krita or any other that can call the kde's file picker. If you install a patched version of gtk 2 you can have the icon view on any of the programs that can cal the gtk2 file picker. But to be strict as you said, those programs doesn't implement any file picker by themselves, the file picker depends on the library used to create the program. You're welcome.
Austin Martin

Joshua Perry
if the gtk file picker issue bothers you, then consider nudging this open bug report. It legitimately annoys the developers because they know what a piece of shit GTK's file picker is.
bugzilla.gnome.org

Also, since you like to meme this thread, please include the bug report link in the OP so more people will bug the GTK devs.
Mason Gray

Do you have some data to backup this claim? The most recent one i found (a bit old tho) seems to indicate KDE is pretty popular:
cio.com
>prob is that the # of ppl who use KDE is tiny
See the link.
>and software library is tiny.
>t. i don't know what i'm talking about.
But seriously, at least check this first:
kde.org
archlinux.org
en.wikipedia.org
And this doesn't includes the frameworks or all the qt programs out there, just the applications under the KDE umbrella. If you want to check qt applications on linux, while not all of them uses the kde dialog a lot of them does it in my own experience:
wiki.manjaro.org
Also there's non-Qt applications that has integration with KDE and can call the file picker, Libreoffice, chrome or vivaldi are examples of this.
William Kelly
Chromium and other browsers based on it like vivaldi calls the KDE dialog by default if it detects you're on kde.
As a note, the Qt dialog is not the KDE dialog. The Qt file picker dialog is a very simple one with almost no features by itself but Qt5 can detect the target environment and use an appropriate file picker using the default one as a fallback only or if you tell it to use it.
Yeah, while i consider gnome to be a pretty polished and integrated environment by itself i alfo find pretty nasty how they often removes functionality, refuses to implement sough after features like this one or how they has been breaking compatibility with different options for customization each stable release. I think they want to push forcefully their vision on their users.

Care to provide better data? Oh yeah, maybe you're a windows user who is accustomed for everything to be opt-out and for telemetry to be enabled by default?. Well, i guess that's one of the advantages of having telemetry enabled by default, surveys are not needed anymore.

Your file manager is not a file picker.
