Holy shit. I saw this when it first got posted and saved it thinking maybe there'd be some nice discussion on it by the time I got some sleep.

Nope, it's just some fanboy screaming KDE IS BETTER through the whole topic.

jfc.

Herd mentality showing its ugly face!

When there is legit 3 comment chains, 2/3 is going to look like a fan boy lol.

Just give the people working thumbnails.

[-] miracleorange@beehaw.org 7 points 1 year ago

The file chooser has had thumbnails for like a year now.

[-] mihnt@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

Yes, when it's just you ranting about how much better KDE is.

That's cool. It's still a bloated ass DE with a candy wrapper. Has been for 20 years. 👍

GNOME still feels like it did in '99 to me, but again, I don't really care what you do either way.

I commented on a guy asking for thumbnails, which after 25 years, you would think they'd have that figured out by now..

[-] QuazarOmega@lemy.lol 7 points 1 year ago

With thumbnails?? ( °o°)

[-] lankybiker@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

But I bet we still won't get working thumbnails

Fedora 39. Downland an image and then look at it in picker and there's no thumbnail. The picker won't generate thumbnails.

[-] aleph@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

Ah, I know what you mean.

Yeah, the way it works now I think the file picker relies on Nautilus to generate the thumbnail first, so any new images will use a placeholder instead. Once you've viewed the file in Nautilus once, though, the thumbnail will show up in the picker from then on.

[-] lankybiker@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Yep which when downloading from one place to then upload to another place is not part of the process

Here's hoping this gets fixed, it's annoying and stupid

A big complaint for KDE is "the setup" but honestly all of the people in here are defending the worse of the 2 lol.

If thumbnails aren't natively turned on and GOOD, it's far worse.

[-] aleph@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

Depends on your use case, I suppose. I'm generally editing existing images and files, so I had practically forgotten that the picker doesn't generate the image itself. For me, thumbnails work perfectly 99% of the time, but for someone who is constantly working with freshly downloaded files, I can understand that it would be a pain.

[-] Zuberi@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

Even windows handles them better than Gnome though... I left because it's legit unusable if you do any design whatsoever.

The KDE video previews for .MKV alone was enough for a switch from me.

No, you quite literally do not.
