Description antistress 2010-06-19 21:36:33 UTC 
Since GNOME 2.22 filechooser is able to display a thumbnail to help selecting a picture.
It would be nice to be able to display a preview of any media (sound, video).

Note that Brasero already has a media previewer and PiTiVi is developping something similar (see http://jeff.ecchi.ca/blog/2010/06/17/previewer-in-the-file-chooser/ & https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=586003 )
Comment 1 Matthias Clasen 2010-06-24 03:08:24 UTC 
GTK+ cannot handle 'any media'. The file chooser provides a general framework for adding previews, that is about the best we can do.
Comment 2 Sri Ramkrishna 2014-10-23 23:43:57 UTC 
Is this bug still relevant?
Comment 3 Jean-François Fortin Tam 2014-11-23 03:44:08 UTC 
I'd say this should be bug 141154
For Pitivi, our UI kinda sucks (see bug #650806), I'll file a new bug in GTK requesting for a way to have a vertical orientation for the preview pane instead.
