html files have thumbnails now?

Do you seriously expect the thumbnailer to render previews of html files?
Thumbnails are a waste of space
>>52383864

>>52383957
windows 98 explorer can do that.
>>52383957
It doesn't display thumbnails for images. Only a preview. Only KDE seems to address this because gtk is too messed up.
Good thread OP!
>>52383966
90% of distributions use it. For the average user they would not know how to really fix this. Developers really should get with the times.

Yes retard.
file pickers are shit anyway, even when they're not as shitty as gtk's.
just let me drag&drop my shit in from a decent file manager, instead of making me use a shitty crippled one in a shitty dialog window

>>52384133
is that just kde with clearlooks theme?
Windows file chooser:
+ lets you resize the thumbnails and change viwing mode
+ lets you create new file/folder / copy/paste/cut/move shit around
+ lets you frigging drop links on the location tab
>>52384176
Because gtk2 is in legacy support.
Gnome devs do need to take their heads out of their asses
>>52384022
>Nearly 12 year old bug.

And I'm supposed to trust that Linux is safe? Windows gets updates much faster than that.
>>52383864
Use KDE
>pacman -S chromium kdebase-kdialog
Chromium will automatically detect KDialog and use that instead of the gtk file picker.
>>52384193
so does the kde file dialog. What is your point?
>>52383915
this to be sincere kin
>>52384211

Really? I wish fucking Firefox would do that.

That's not a bug, it's a feature request.
I kno right, it's ridiculous but real bugs get solved a lot faster (at least whit heartbleed and shellshock).
Isn't it funny how we still use X11? That shit's probably older than me and do I feel old sometimes.
Works on my machine.
>>52384210
A feature request is not really a 'bug'.
Ranger with image/video/file previews m8
use it
Just use the gtk2 patch.
>>52384211
Do you know how to do it with Opera? It's Chromium-based
>>52384225
The only really useful non-bloated DE has a ridiculous file-chooser.
An older, ridiculous OS has this feature.
>>52384294

>>52384321
>reads argument against DE
>replies with argument against OS
Get off the computer leeroy
>>52384259
That's a preview. Not icon thumbnails.
Windows has this problem too.
>>52384291
No idea m8. In chromium you only need to install kdialog and it will just werk the next time you run it.
>>52384283
Does it work with XFCE4, though?
>>52384354
The Windows "DE" is just as bloated (probably moreso) than KDE.
People leave opinionated bugs all the time.
People claimed KDE should have an option for removing the "cashew" menu.
Now it does.
>>52384382
It works with anything that uses the gtk2 upload dialog.
>>52384376
Please stop.
>>52384354
Microsoft is the worlds largest sticker company and all the malware they ship is entirely bloat
>>52384376
Wrong, the software you're using is the problem since it tries to roll it's own file Explorer rather than using Windows a piece for the default one. The result is a hacked together piece of shit.
>>52384383
You're implying I can opt out the Windows DE. Which I can't. And we're talking about basic features. Come on, I dislike Windows from the bottom of the heart but come on...
>>52384376
>>52384429
Then tell me a good alternative for Pidgin on Windows that supports XMPP, Telegram and Whatsapp to solve this problem.
Hint: It works on OSX.
>>52383864
>no thumbnails
Not a single one
>>52384294
KDE sure is bloated... until you find out that it's the only Linux DE which has features X, Y and Z and that all the other DEs lack.
>>52384429
The regular Windows file picker doesn't work as expected either, can't even handle dragged files.

>>52384502
Wow that's pretty embarrassing.
>>52384502
I'm sure it works in a non-retard browser
>>52384502
The fact that you are this dumb on a tech board amazes me. Once again a software issue with IE. Nothing to do with the OS itself.
>>52384468
Maybe you should tell the devs to not make shit then on windows.
>>52384374
it's icon thumbnails as well, he just keep the thumbnails small
>>52384577
And Firefox using the shitty GTK file picker, even though better alternatives are available is Linux's fault?
>>52384544
No, thats a missing feature of the file picker.
On any other platform you can just drag any file into the file picker and it will select it. The Windows file picker does not support this, instead it will try to copy the file.
This is a problem unless the applications works around this by providing its own drag and drop handler. Being able to just work with a file you have open in the file explorer is a really common use case and should be always available when you have to select a file, there is zero reason why they wouldn't support this.
>>52384624

>>52384669
Cause Chrome happens to be an application that works around this issue. Again, there is zero reason for the file picker to not support this basic operation natively.
>>52384487
Is that a file picker retard? No, it is not. Shut your whore mouth while men are talking.
>>52384770
There's no reason for Linux to suck ass either in 2016 but it still does.
>>52384638
You can drag a file to the "pick file" button. plz 2 b learning computer.
