[Bug 302487] [NEW] KDE file open dialog should show thumbnails

2008-11-26 Thread Sybren Stüvel
Public bug reported:

Right-click on the desktop, choose Desktop settings..., click the
Browse button. The file selection dialogue is shown. There is no
option to render thumbnails for all image files in the current
directory. However, the purpose of the dialogue box was to select an
image. The only way to get a preview of an image is:

  - Hover the mouse above a file for several seconds, or
  - Right-click on the file, then press ESC or click somewhere else to close 
the context menu

Both possibilities only work on a single file at a time. Imagine the
annoyance when a user tries to select a single photo from a list of a
hundred similarly named files.

Both Konqueror and Dolphin can show thumbnails for images and other file
types. It would be highly convenient if the file open/save dialogue
boxes were to obtain the same feature.

I'm using an up-to-date Kubuntu 8.10 installation.
