New issue 15500 by cmroddy: GTK file chooser should show image previews http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=15500 Chrome Version : 3.0.191.0 (19353) OS + version : Ubuntu 9.04 CPU architecture (32-bit / 64-bit): Both window manager : Compiz URLs (if applicable) : http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/entry (example) Behavior in Firefox 3.x (if applicable): OK Behavior in Chrome for Windows (optional): n/a What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Browse to a web page with a file upload form 2. Click the "Choose File" button to open the file chooser 3. Browse to a directory containing images and click once on the name of an image file What is the expected result? Thumbnail should be displayed at the right-hand side of the file chooser dialog. What happens instead? Thumbnail is not displayed. Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot and backtrace if possible. It is difficult to be sure one is selecting the right image to upload, and displaying a thumbnail solves that easily. Many people have images with file names that do not distinguish the contents (DSC0123.jpg, IMG_9876 etc.), and the small icons in the file list pane are not large enough to accurately select the desired file. The workaround right now is to use a thumbnailing file manager (e.g. Nautilus) and drag the desired image file icon into the open file chooser window. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
