@desikn @hax @rdbende 😂 Okay, now I get it. But I hope you understand my bad mood. It's odd that such a gap in such a central widget is around for so long. And really not what you would expect when you don't know about it. Really, I remember thumbnail issues in KDE back when it was called Kool.

Looking forward to get 47 then. Thanks for your patience with me.

Interessanter Artikel. (Paywall, aber ihr seid ja internetaffin...)

"Die Versorgungssicherheit war jedoch zu Preisspitzenzeiten nicht gefährdet. Die Stromanbieter sind nicht dazu verpflichtet, die Strompreise billig zu machen [..]. Also haben sie zum Beispiel keine Kraftwerke angefahren [..], sondern haben sich am Strommarkt mit den Mengen eingedeckt, mit denen sie ihre Kunden beliefern mussten. Das hat dazu geführt, dass die Stromimporte stark stiegen [..]."

@oli Ja, das war schon beim Vorfall die Analyse aus der Richtung derer, die sich mit dem Markt und der Gesetzgebung etwas auskennen und nicht entweder Akws wollen oder Erneuerbare hassen.

Der Vorgang war eine schlichtes Regelungslücke. Marktversagen, sozusagen.

(Aber psssst, nicht zu laut sagen, sonst haucht dir der Geist von Lindner "Kernfusion" in den Nacken.)

@desikn No, as stated, this is gnome 46 shipped with a blank Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS.

Its about menu states exactly that.

@hax @rdbende

@desikn 24.04 LTS does have 46. This is the most current LTS. And as @hax pointed out, this feature is around since Gnome 44. @hax @rdbende

Look: Just when I tried this thing on my daughter's new account, it did the same thing - screenshot attached.

Most of the files shown are below 2MB, none showed a thumbnail - even after several trials.

This is the file selection dialogue invoked by gnome-control-center when changing the desktop background image.

Sure, it *may* be a Ubuntu issue, but I've never seen such erratic behaviour on my KDE setup (same Ubuntu basis). So, why?

Hey, @hax, @rdbende, @desikn, thanks for the quick reply despite my clearly very sour post.

You are in fact right, and the thumbnails are showing up.

Now. -.-

I've observed this behaviour before in Gnome: it takes a while and then the thumbnails are there. I have - in fact - checked the grid view and only got icons (for two images of about 500kB and 2MB, so not a size limit issue, hence my rant).

But my sourness still remains. I've been using Gnome for years and often come across those glitches that are very hard to diagnose because everything is minimalist to the point that you can't tell what's going on.

PS: There's definitely always the suspicion that Canonical somehow screwed it up of course, but I think in this case, they're not to blame.

Wow, it's Version 46 now and still: no picture preview in the file selection dialogue. How is this supposed to be user friendly?

It's not there by default, it's not easily configurable, it's not even in `gnome-tweaks`.

Does KDE support this? Yeah, since about 1876.

Oh, and you know what would be great: if a user knew what the shitty app was actually called to file a bug.

`gnome-tweaks`? Introduces itself as "GNOME-Optimierungen" in German for instance. Good look finding the correct repo, let alone the executable or package if you have to install it.

That thing that says it's called "Settings" in it's info box (in German they say 'settings' now for Einstellungen, I suppose?)? Yeah, it's obviously called `gnome-control-center`! Because, why not?
