Better Late Than Never! GNOME's File Picker Adds Thumbnail View After 18 Years
|
|||
|
|
======
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
A long-lost request, and a much-needed one, finally made its way through!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
![Better Late Than Never! GNOME's File Picker Adds Thumbnail View After 18 Years][1]
|

|
|
Nowadays, the user interface of a program is extremely important; even the simplest of interactions can make or break the user's experience.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The GNOME file picker lacked a proper thumbnail preview for viewing files, instead relying on a plain list view. This may have been unintuitive for many.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The lack of this feature was also the topic of many memes and debates over the years.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
But now, finally, after 18 long years since the original [feature request][2] was put out, GNOME is set to receive support for a proper thumbnail view.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Let's look at this upcoming change to GNOME's file picker.

### Feature to Arrive With GNOME 44
|
|||
|

As demonstrated by this early build screenshot provided by GNOME developer [Matthias Clasen][4]. The file picker on GNOME is going to feature a thumbnail view.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This is how it looks like with GNOME 43 on board:

|
**How to access it?:** It is a grid view for the file picker on GNOME that shows the thumbnail previews of files and folders.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
It will now be easy to differentiate items in the file manager; no more opening a file to see what it contains!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|

|
|
When this feature arrives, you can enable it by clicking on the new view toggle button at the top right.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**What Changed?:** 18 years for a simple feature addition is a long time. Numerous technical reasons made the implementation of this an arduous task.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
But I am glad that it is finally here. 😃
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
One of the reasons that made this possible was the recent deprecations and modernization work carried out in the GTK code base.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
> 💡 GTK is the toolkit that is at the core of all things GNOME.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
And, those changes resulted in [GtkListView][7] and [GtkGridView][8] using the same data models to make this feature work.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**When to expect?:** The historical [merge request][9] has already been accepted and is paving the way for its introduction to GNOME.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
You can expect this to arrive with GNOME 44 sometime in 2023.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I'm looking forward to that! 😁
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
We would be covering it as part of GNOME 44's feature offerings. So, stay tuned to our coverage for that!
