The official Linux desktop doesn't support file thumbn

...

What patch did you use?

>thumbnails only show up if you've scrolled past the file in the file manager
This shit is inexcusable. Why can't PCmanFM as a file picker instead of the dogshit GTK picker?

Gnomefags can't even get thumbnails in their filepicker without a patch.

to say this is proper thumbnail support is complacency.

So it took you over a decade to get it like THAT? Because that's embarrassing looking, user.

LMAO

That's list view, what abou thumbnail view?

Who needs filepicker when you can just open the file manager, choose the desired image, drag it, drop on browser and
poof, magic?

That's a good enough solution provided your time is worthless.

...ails.

Is there any straightforward way to apply that patch?
Or do I have to download gtk source code and compile it myself manually?
I'm on Arch.

because drag and drop gestures are a pain in the ass with a touch pad, and souldn't be considered as a good interaction
you shouldn't do more than click for image picking

Are you saying that the patch is this simple and they didn't make it?

the gnome devs have known how to get thumbnails in the file picker since the whole meme began, they just choose not to because of excuses and being retarded

Dont know if its exactly that patch but theres an AUR package called gtk2-patched-filechooser-icon-view that gives you thumbnails in the file picker.
I use it with no problems but have heard from others it can cause certain programs to crash

this patch only scales the shitty 16x16 icons up to 64x64

but if you want to put it bluntly then yes getting op image was that simple

Linux is a kernel, it doesn't have a desktop.

can we convince gnome to include the patch for the sake of disabled blind transgender nigresses with 4k monitors?

This

Is there some way to change the file picker on XFCE? I'm stuck with the shitty GNOME one

no the AUR one makes a serious attempt (and it still got declined as a patch afaik)

this hardcodes the value 64 instead of 16 I sincerely doubt it

maybe pacman has an option to compile + apply patches idk

>official linux desktop
Retard.

Btw, thunar has thumbs out of the box.

PATHETIC

What a horribly inefficient way of displaying files

>doesnt know the difference between a file manager and a file picker
Retard.

Btw, practically every file manager has thumbs out of the box.
