Description Glauco Hass 2007-11-19 03:52:28 UTC 
The Open File Dialog should have an option to see a list of images as thumbnails. If I choose to send some file through Pidgin or aMSN, I must open a nautilus window, search for the file to get his name and then pick the file in dialog.
This feature will be great if the selected folder contains a thousand of pictures with no intuitive file names (i.e. numbered named files downloaded from a digital camera).
Gimp uses an Open File Dialog with thumbnail, but it only show the preview of one image. A folder with thousands of images will be a pain to find the one you are looking for.

I could be wrong but i think this has to be made in GTK [1] and not in Nautilus?

[1] more exactly: http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/unstable/GtkFileChooserDialog.html
Comment 2 Alex 2008-04-06 14:39:51 UTC 
I vote for this feature too. And indeed it belongs to the GTK file chooser.
Comment 3 Cosimo Cecchi 2008-04-07 00:43:09 UTC 
-> GtkFileChooser

Thanks, reassigning.

This seems like a dupe of bug 315207 for me (sorry if I am wrong)
Comment 5 Glauco Hass 2009-02-06 02:10:19 UTC 
Yes, this could be marked as a #315207 duplicate.
