Description Janne Granström 2022-05-24 03:47:20 UTC
Problem is that the dolphin-based file picker doesn't remember to keep thumbnails always visible. Now user need to always click that "show thumbnails" button from the toolbar.

Ideal working order is that file picker remember to keep thumbnails always on, just like Dolphin remembers it, in normal file manager "mode".

Can you please attach a screenshot of the file dialog in question so I can be sure we're talking about the same thing?

And what app are you using that makes the dialog appear?

This is the filepicker and i just found out that, even spectacle use it when user want to save screenshot as a file "save as".

First i seen this file picker window when using chromium-based Edge browser but now i seen it also with Spectacle when i wanted to save screenshot to a file. I added screenshot of the window, where the mouse cursor is on top of the "show thumbnails" button.

So if you show the dialog in Spectacle, change the preview setting, close the dialog, and open it again, it's forgotten the change yo made?
Comment 4 Janne Granström 2022-05-27 19:01:02 UTC
Yes Nate.
Comment 5 Nate Graham 2022-06-01 16:09:53 UTC
Can you please do the following:

1. Paste the output of `grep "Show Inline Previews" ~/.config/kdeglobals`
2. Change the preview setitng in Spectacle's file dialog and save an image with it
3. Paste the output of `grep "Show Inline Previews" ~/.config/kdeglobals` again
