Why do we consider Linux to be good when this shit goes on?
>his operating system has a file picker in the kernel
Disgusting.
What the fuck is a file picker?
Thumbnails work fine in icon view here. I'm using MATE.
Don't know why you would want thumbnails in list view.

>>54319621
Such a gimmick.
>>54319621
>>54319648
so are picture previews.
>>54319650
not the same. and doesn't look like you can seek through based on the screenshot
>>54319466
That green thing makes me laugh, lol
What is it?
>>54319650
>.avi
>>54319671
mpv opens in milliseconds. Why would I need some stupid preview gimmick?
>>54319466
one single meme doesn't make something completely good or bad.
Managing files through the terminal emulator is still the easiest way to do it.
mkdir
touch
ls | grep
rm
cd
awk
sed
"File picker" lol
>>54319671
Picture previews are useful. So are image previews of a video. Playing the video back within the icon is a gimmick.
>>54319671
>not the same
So if it's a different implementation with the same functionality, it gets disqualified?
>and doesn't look like you can seek through based on the screenshot
You can set key for that. I haven't though.
>>54319604
It's literally in the name dude.
>>54319678
so does picture
>>54319704
well how'd you seek in the video?
>>54319705
osx has both, therefore they are different
>>54319604
The open/save/save as dialogs
>>54319717
If you need to seek, you do it with a full blown video player.
>>54319621
>>54319698
i tried cp image.png https://4chan.org/g/ and it did nothing, what am I doing wrong?
>>54319777
1. you still don't have music previews
2. it's rendered as a picture, therefore not video.
>>54319811
>1. you still don't have music previews
We have had music previews since like Windows ME, probably earlier.
>>54319811
Both of those are false.
>>54319621
I suppose this doesn't count for some reason.
>>54319797
nonono. you download cp. dont use cp.
>>54319815
liar, this is how it looks for me
>>54319648
It's actually super useful.
>Linux still doesn't have a usable file picker.
>>54319830
Turn on the "preview pane". Works with videos too.
>>54319826
both of these are true
>>54319827
>>54319846
that's different because one can view only one video at the same time, and the video takes up like half of the explorer
>>54319841
Is it still not possible to search the KDE file picker?
>>54319830

Fuck off with your DE specific issues
>>54319841
That's not a file picker.
>>54319859

kek
>>54319860
>Is it still not possible to search the KDE file picker?
Not really something I try all that much, admittedly, but... I didn't realise this was ever impossible?
I think you've got a case of the >>54319870s.
>>54319870
>what you said: i'm a faggot

>>54319859
You can preview more than one video at a time? I would like to see this being done.
The size of the preview pane it is adjustable.

Well, I've read the thread up to this point and still don't have a working definition of what a "file picker" is. Never heard the term before, either.
Given the cancerous responses ITT, I'm guessing it has nothing to do with anything useful. Especially since I've managed to use computers for over 30 years now without knowing whatever this mysterious thing is.
Occam's Razor suggests that OP is pretty fucking retarded and doesn't know how to use a computer effectively. I hope you get better some day, OP. Good luck.
>>54320003
click on post a reply
click on 'browse...' button
that's a file picker
it's right there
>>54320010
He's being purposefully ignorant, he could've easily inferred what OP was referring to by his pic but he chose to ignore this so he could humblebrag about how leet and oldfag he is.
HURR DURR WRITE YOUR OWN FILE PICKER LOSER LE LIONUX MASTER RACE XD HURRR DURRR
>>54319621
AFAIK the first ubuntu distro I tried years ago had this using their out-of-box software. Did they change that by now?
>>54319604
it's like when you pick your nose for files
>not using your comfy file manages to drop the file
>bitching about legacy technology which allows you to fast search files instantly in the viewed dir
>>54319621
This is fucking sick
>>54319841
KDE is so fucking ugly
>>54319621
Windows me did
>>54319860
Honestly who searches? I'm organized and know where everything is at all times
>>54319678
are you retarded?
>have a bunch of .webms in a folder
>have to go through every single one to find the one you want to upload
>>54320924
Is it not 'riced' or 'bleeding edge' enough for you?
>>54320999
NO. Windows ME was completely devoid of any and all good and useful features.
You must be mistaken or lying or some sort of time traveller going backwards and forwards trying to clean the name and reputation of one of your developer ancestors.
>>54319621
Since windows Vista son
Since Debian etch son
>>54319797
You need to enable 1337 mode
Or maybe download some extra ram
>>54319466
Drink bleach, gtk kucks
>>54319621
Dear OS, today I've wasted my resources on useless shit
>>54321324
At any one time, you're like only like using 30% of your computer's brain capacity, maaaan.

>bezels take up serveral times more space than the usable elements
And this is why linux is still a gimmick OS for desktop, because everybody doing the UI design is fucking retarded
>>54321347

>>54321380
He's retarded and using KDE4, not the uptodate one. Probably because his distro is shit
>>54321380
>bezels take up serveral times more space than the usable elements
You know you can change that, memer.
>>54321365
Don't know, do you like getting fucked in the ass?
>>54321389
The up to date one is just as bad. In fact it's mostly identical except it has a flat default theme.
>>54321390
Funnily enough under KDE you can't
>GTK still doesn't have previews
When will this fucking meme die? It was solved more than a year ago.

>>54321432
So how exactly do I apply this
>>54321449
What distro?
>>54321460
Arch newb
>>54321471
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gtk2-patched-filechooser-icon-view/
>>54321389
It's actually a conscious decision, because it just werks.
>>54321481
Yeah I noticed that, I was just wondering about how would I go about directly applying the patch if I needed to
>>54321412
Looks pretty all right to me, better than Windows ever did
>>54321488
Because you don't even use KDE
>>54321488
KDE never "just werked". Even when there weren't crashes, there were tons of UI glitches all the time.
>>54321491
You recompile the gtk source with the aforementioned patch.
>>54321499
What distro is that?
>>54321499
>Because you don't even use KDE
Then... How did I take the screenshot?
>>54321502
>crashes
>UI glitches
Doesn't really ever happen to me, so I don't really know what the hell you're on about.
>>54321503
Do I need to rewrite the pkgbuild for that or is it also doable directly via bash?
>>54321491
>>54321503
Oh, you also would have needed to recompile glib with some patch also.
>>54321538
You need to add something to the pkgbuild file, yeah.
>>54321516
Arch. Distro doesn't matter mostly
It bothers me too
So like, what is it exactly, a gtk thing? And qt just also is missing this feature? It's not browser-specific, right? How hard could it be to add that?
And a related question, can you like, set your file picker to your own program somehow, like a regular FM?
>>54321603
qt's file picker is just as shit. KDE overrides it because it's not SHITNOME
>>54319797
you use scp durr.
