>/g/ claims linux has filepicker thumbnails now
Largely due to the shift to x86. There is nothing preventing devs from using an x86 userspace that has access to x64 memory sizes, besides arbitrary limitations and "compatibility".

Fedora 43 has a modern file picker and it generates thumbnails too. Works with Vivaldi too.

Firefox's GTK file picker is notoriously bad but I've had thumbnails on it for awhile now.
I dunno why it can't simply use my system file picker.

Doesn't work. Keep in mind mint is supposed to be the easy to use noob-friendly distro.

>>107985267
Mint is too outdated to have the new filepicker

>>107979754
Linux is not an operating system, Linux is a kernel. "Filepickers" are not standardized across operating systems or even applications, this should be obvious of course to even a systems layman, yet here we are.

who told you that? same retards who say Ubuntu is noob-friendly too?

there is no such thing as a noob friendly distro. the closest you'll get is something like bazzite and that's if the ootb experience works with your hardware.

linux problem
there's a standard one windows

Works for me on openSUSE Tumbleweed KDE. The actual endgame distro.

>>107985267
Lmao, even on FreeBSD I have thumbnails in the default filepicker AND the config setting works.

ngmi (i'm actually in tears because the default gtk file picker is still a thing)

>>107985952
>custom backend
how do you make this?
I use xdg-desktop-portal-lxqt for my filepicker, but it's a qt themed and it's annoying and I really don't want to use xdg-desktop-portal-gnome

>>107979754
That's not a Linux problem but a Firefox problem. Firefox for some reason does not use the KDE file picker by default, but this can be easily changed.

>>107985267
You said Kubuntu in the OP and the advice you had received is meant for KDE (which Kubuntu uses); Mint is GTK-based so it's stuck with Firefox's default GTK file picker.

>>107985489
There are countless applications on Windows that use a custom file picker

>>107979754

Doesn't Plasma comes with these on all distros?

>>107985267
Am I missing something? There are image previews there on the right.

>>107990004
Anon wants to see the thumbnails before he clicks on them. Which is the default behaviour on the KDE file picker.

>>107990012
Oh wow I forgot that was even a possibility. That behavior never happened for me on GNOME or KDE.

Update: This does work on KDE. This whole time I was using xdg-desktop-portal-gtk because I had it manually default to that in the config.

>>107979754
>try firefox
firefox is a GTK visual library application, so it will always have gnome retardation.
sadly I was aware a few years back there was an effort to port Firefox to Qt5. I wonder what happened to it.

You have spaces in your file names. We're enemies, now.

Firefox has retarded default setting.
You can enable KDE file picker with about:config.
