Wonder if the file picker will have image thumbnails.
- k_bx 5y agoMy favourite “UX bug” is when Discord wants to upgrade, it downloads a newer deb, you open it in App Store, and it only shows the “delete” button. Wonder if it’ll ever be fixed.
- nix23 5y agoYeah the AppStore is a joke...the search especially, thats one big point where devs don't eat their dogfood, i bet that 99.9% of Gnome-devs never try'd "AppStore" (so much for linux desktop year), but a working thing like synaptic is probably too complicated for "normal" Linux-Users (do they even exist?)...just give them a Store (that does not work)...thanks gnome.
- iudqnolq 5y agoI wish my discord did that... it just errors after timing out trying to connect to their update server. Sometimes force killing helps, sometimes trying the next day does. Once it connects the rest is all automatic though.
- superkuh 5y agoUnless they also fork Gtk3 and Gtk4 the GNOME will still seep in and ruin the desktop. Things like gtkfilechooserwidget are terribly broken in gtk3 and gtk4 but at least gtk4 finally got a patch that allows you to paste into a file->open window without it error'ing out. But gtk4 is still firmly in the "no text entry window for you" in file chooser menus by default. Also, I looked at the github repo for cosmic under pop!_os's stuff and there's no actual code. It's all boilerplate with a single gsettings schema .xml file. There's no DE in that repo.
- mushufasa 5y agocurrent pop_os has image 'previews' in a sidebar as you select images, which isn't the same as a thumbnail but accomplishes much the same purpose
- kactus 5y agoThat’s the same as stock GNOME and is terrible UX.
- wander_homer 5y agoThat's an application specific feature. For example Firefox or Gimp implement this preview and add it to the file chooser, but most applications don't.
- nix23 5y agoNo we don't do that in Linux world, please place "metadata" where it belongs...the inode.
