From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Cool. Now how about image thumbnail in the file picker. I mean seriously...

Wasn't this fixed finally a while ago? I swear i read somewhere it was.

[–] TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Already done like a couple of releases ago.

Btw, why is filepicker a toolkit thing and not something the user can choose or switch out?

[–] d_k_bo@feddit.de 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If the program uses xdg-desktop-portal, the file picker isn't provided by the toolkit but by your desktop / portal implementation.

Yeah, i mean outside of that. General Gtk and Qt applications.

[–] fossisfun@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Outside of that the toolkit's file picker is used, as the system doesn't seem to provide one (via the portal), so the only reasonable fallback is to show the file picker that you know is there, which is the one of the application's toolkit.

Isn't it only for gtk 4 applications?
