Camden Long
Bye user.
Brandon Phillips
In principle I think GTK not having thumbnails in the file chooser is retarded, but when I see the kind of people who complain about it, I understand why they leave it that way.

Why is my newly formatted drive 200GB full? >created new gpt table, single new partition >format to ext4 >nemo says that 200GB of the drive is in use >try to reduce reserved size >still the same amount in use >df claims only 1% of the drive is in use but then lists that only 3.8 of 4TB is available, i.e. 200GB used or ~5%
i think thats a good decision, user. the year of the linux desktop will grace us one day, but not today.
Brandon Jones
This is lf, you might not like it but this is the peak form of linux supremacy. I have the thumbnails, and I can make these "thumbs" as big as YHWH's thumbs!
I'm expecting user is talking about getting something like Firefox to show thumbnails in it's file picker, which is as easy as running GTK_USE_PORTAL="1" firefox & exit in a terminal while having xdg-desktop-portal and the xdg-desktop-portal-kde/gtk packages. Or you could even just make a launcher file so you don't even need to open a terminal.
James Kelly
I've tried everything and the fucking thumbnails don't show up. why is this shit gonna happen to me? everyone else has thumbnails why the fuck only I don't get them? fuck linux
Justin Ward
how do I get these packages?
Jose Moore
Download them with your package manager. Do you know what a package manager is.
Colton Richardson
What thumbnails? Where? In which program? QT or GTK? What file browser? Are you trying to see thumbnails on firefox file picker?
I think we're dealing with a newbie.
Logan Cooper
Or just engage your front brain and realize you can drag and drop from thumbnail view in the file manager.
Julian Richardson
I'm a noob, don't know how things work on linux >What thumbnails? Where? In which program? QT or GTK? What file browser? Are you trying to see thumbnails on firefox file picker? images thumbnails when I try to upload a picture somewhere. If I open the file manager by itself I can see the thumbnails, but not when trying to upload them somewehere. I'm using brave as my browser how can I do it

Cooper Clark
Literally what said. Get those packages installed then run that terminal command but replace firefox with brave.
Michael Mitchell
what command should I run to get the packages?
Alexander Parker
user we don't know what distro you're running.
Robert Jackson
kubuntu
Jace Taylor
sudo apt install xdg-desktop-portal xdg-desktop-portal-kde Then log out and back in.
Angel Howard
The answer of that user must've mixed your problem, so I think you need to fix other two issues. One is your webbrowser, the other one is blaming linux for your actions. You're correct btw, literally everyone has a working linux setup.
