    Ah, I know what you mean.

    Yeah, the way it works now I think the file picker relies on Nautilus to generate the thumbnail first, so any new images will use a placeholder instead. Once you’ve viewed the file in Nautilus once, though, the thumbnail will show up in the picker from then on.

      Yep which when downloading from one place to then upload to another place is not part of the process

      Here’s hoping this gets fixed, it’s annoying and stupid

      A big complaint for KDE is “the setup” but honestly all of the people in here are defending the worse of the 2 lol.

      If thumbnails aren’t natively turned on and GOOD, it’s far worse.

        Depends on your use case, I suppose. I’m generally editing existing images and files, so I had practically forgotten that the picker doesn’t generate the image itself. For me, thumbnails work perfectly 99% of the time, but for someone who is constantly working with freshly downloaded files, I can understand that it would be a pain.

          Even windows handles them better than Gnome though… I left because it’s legit unusable if you do any design whatsoever.

          The KDE video previews for .MKV alone was enough for a switch from me.
