Opened 16 Years Ago

Opened 16 years ago Open Add an "icon view with thumbnails" mode (like Nautilus) Submitted by Hakon Assigned to Federico Mena Quintero @federico Link to original bug (#141154) Description The file-chooser should be able to share the "icon view" feature used in Nautilus, so that you can choose between list view and icon view (with thumbnails). I believe the Windows file selector already does this. Now how to do this I have no clue about, because I am not a developer. I guess either Nautilus should allow other applications to share this function (which could also be useful to file-roller e.g.), or it should be lifted out from Nautilus, making it a gtk widget or something?

A screenshot of an old software bug report shows a file chooser feature request alongside a crying Pepe and a file marked “Opened 16 years ago.” The joke is the absurdly long delay between reporting the issue and opening it, making it useful as a reaction to neglected tasks, ancient requests, or painfully slow progress.
