KDE and patch every GTK program on your computer, you mean.
>>46733591
What do you mean ? You can drag'n'drop your animu reaction pictures on the file select tab.
It's much faster and more convenient than browsing your images folder in a tiny window.

You really have learned some shitty ways to "work" with Linux.
I was told that Linux was extremely customizable, yet I can't customize it to get a file picker with thumbnails? What's your excuse for that?
So I'm on kubuntu and firefox still uses gtk file chooser.
how to use the kde one?
>>46733800
are you stupid?
that's ONE thumbnail.
not a thumbnail view

What part of "this is coming from a Windows user" didn't you get ?
And yeah, I can actually find solutions to my problems. Or adjust.
>I was told that Linux was extremely customizable
You mean like picking a different DE ? One that might suit your need ?

This man knows what he's doing.
You can drag and drop items from any file manager onto "Choose File" buttons.
Do you think it will change faster if you post about it on an image board every day?
it is only 10yo bug

Bringing attention to a problem is better than ignoring it and pretending it doesn't exist
>>46733806
>I was told that Linux was extremely customizable, yet I can't customize it to get a file picker with thumbnails?
Yes you can, the code is right there for you do change however you like. If you want a file picker with thumbnails then just do it, no one is stopping you.
>>46734385
No, posting a feature request on the relevant bug tracker is better than ignoring it. Posting on an image board about it is like farting in to the wind.
>>46733910
I'm sorry that Windows can only run one application at a time, but that's no reason to go sour grapes on Linux.

I have lots of friends, both offline and online
maybe you should re-examine your life, lets start at the beginning shall we?
how did your parents treat you as a kid?
>>46734709
It's probably shitty but on loonix the file manager doesn't freeze and thumbnails are loaded instantly.
Sorry if I don't like being jew'd but I won't buy more hardware just to post on 4chan on windows if loonix can do it better with less resources.
>>46734460
I think you know this has been on the relevant bug tracker for something like 10 years.
>>46734695
>>it freezes
>it's thrashing the HD for a good 2-3 minutes before it starts sorting them by "date modified" which isn't even in the default options anymore.
Fuck you and your shitty filepicker thread. We don't need a new one of these every day.
>>46735066
why isn't the file picker an external program that all applications call?
That would make it a lot easier if they all called the same program and you could just choose the correct one and the correct version of that.
Is there some weird feature that they need other than open a menu to pick a file?
>>46735157
It would be a good design choice and is what Android does. No desktop OS I know of does this. It would potentially introduce a delay as the other program loads though.
>>46731941
Even win 98 looked better than present day loonix
New /g/ project! Redesign the GTK file picker. I'll draw the logo.
>>46731865
Can that little dropdown thing on the left of the desktop be removed easily?
>>46735230
there is no reason this wouldn't be cached though.
I would just love that I could pin a folder in one program and then it would be pinned in every program.
Where should it be done though? by replacing the api call in the qt and gtk library?

Like in XP? Any program that uses the Windows provided file picker instead of implementing its own shitty one gets this.
>Where should it be done though? by replacing the api call in the qt and gtk library?
Yes, but there are still some apps that implement their own dumb or 'custom' file picker because they want dome extra checkbox or something.

It depends on whether you're suffering from Linux or similar mental diseases or not.
>>46735787
Indeed. Linux "designers" have tried to replicate this for so many years, but even the ones which are supposed to shamelessly copy it (like Windows XP mode in Tails) would not even convince a 4 year old child.

Professional doesn't mean they're good at what they do, just means they're paid for it.
I mean, look at yourself for instance. A professional shill, shitposting on 4chan.
OP here.
I installed firefox-kde on kubuntu 15.05 beta.
>>46736566
>Professional doesn't mean they're good at what they do, just means they're paid for it
In this case it's also likely they have an education so they know about things like visual identity, consistency etc.
As for you ad hominem, that's not surprising coming from a NEET who just spouts fischer price over and over
Also
>le ebin shill maymay

>>46731773
Why isn't this fixed yet? I mean people have been complaining about this for years, but in all that time no one made a better file picker? Really? Or do the GTK devs find it unnecessary like so much other stuff they removed with gnome 3?
I honestly can't understand it.
>>46736705
>I honestly can't understand it.
that's autism for you I suppose
>>46736705
Either pay them to fix it or fix it yourself.
It's that simple.
>>46736705
Because it's not a problem for the rest of us. We have no problem using drag and drop with our file managers.
>>46736622
Can you do imageURLs on there like you can on Windows?
>>46736632
>implying I'm that anon
Also,
>it's also likely they have an education
is false, and even if it were true, it doesn't matter since it's just a probability. It's like claiming someone cannot possibly have won the lottery because the probability is so low.
Someone who is professional is hired by an HR department, meaning there's a higher chance they are more skilled at ass-licking than possessing any real skills, especially anti-ass-licking skills like practical design informed by scientific studies of user behavior.
>>46736705
Perhaps,and I know this is going to disappoint you and your self absorbed little world, the devs really didn't see posting maymays on teh fourchins quicker as a top priority.These people work hard without alot of support so they tackle the issues that matter first.Also kill yourself.
>>46736905

Why do you feel like you deserve to have other people add features for you, for free? Go back to sucking on MICROS~1's titties, we don't need you here in FOSS.

>>46736946
>>46736933
>all this hostility

Sorry, I probably worded my post a bit wrong.
What I was trying to say was why no one of the people whining commited a better file picker, not the gtk devs. That last part was just a thought that might explain why the file picker is still in the same state, assuming people have commited fixes for it.
>>46737111
>assuming people have commited fixes for it.
I don't think anyone has. I'm sure there are some whiners, but most people are okay with using a file manager, because that's what a file manager is for.
>Windows
>Add a file manager to every app
>Add a gallery browser to every app
>Add email client to every app
>Add Twitter/Facebook support to every app
That's how you end up with shitty software.
>>46737016
Or you can use the file manager with the "drag 'n drop" technique.
