No file preview while opening an image in 22.04

  • 772

In 21.10, when I try open a file, I could see a thumbnail preview on the right. This was true with Firefox, GIMP and Inkscape.

Sadly, after upgrading to 22.04, all I got are file names and an image icon in Nautilus.

Is it possible to somehow see which file we are adding to Firefox, GIMP etc as a thumbnail preview as available in 21.10 and earlier? Thanks.

nautilus

  1. Ubuntu 20.04.x

    Gimp 2.10.28

    Open Gimp
    Menu > Edit > Preferences > System Resources > Image Thumbnails
    Select something else than "No thumbnails"

    Nautilus (from Bash prompt), AKA "Files":

    The three dash (horizontal version of ///) clickable gadget just beside "_" (minimize window) in the upper right corner of the window has the settings.
    In that menu you have Preferences > Search and preview (tab) > Thumbnails: move away from Never if set to that.

    Firefox 99.0:

    Enter about:config in the address field
    Click Accept the risk ...
    Then type Thumbnail in the search field that appears.
    (No related settings as it seems, hmm? Neither so in Settings)
