Hello!
I wanted to discuss the possibility of adding icon thumbnails to the
GNOME file picker. Currently the GNOME file picker is a list view
without icons, when you click an image you get a thumbnail of it.
Many users wishing to manage their images, photographs etc. want to have
the option of a grid of image thumbnails. This is useful for example
when uploading pictures to the web or when trying to open an image in
GNU GIMP to edit it.
There is a long standing issue about this feature request
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/233
There is an interesting patch mentioned
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gtk3-patched-filechooser-icon-view/
which I have built and tested. I do not think that this patch is ready
to merge but it is a good start and the code may be useful to somebody
working on implementing this feature.
Anyway I am interested in what any GNOME developers think about this
particular feature request.
* Would a high quality pull request that implements this feature be
accepted?
* If not why not?
* Is there a reason that any implementation of this feature would be
rejected?
* Is there any internal work on this feature that is not known outside
of GNOME?
* Would there be any communication and guidance from the GNOME project
to outside developers aiming to contribute an implementation of this?
Thank you.
