Preview images in dialog window
I'm searching for a solution to change the view of icons (images) within the Ubuntu built-in file manager in dialog windows.
Image of dialog window:
Example: Click on "upload images" on eBay --> dialogue window opens --> after choosing the folder with images I would have to click each image to see it bigger in preview, but with 700 images in the folder I would have to click a lot!
I know that clicking an image will show a preview on the right-hand side, but with 700 images this is a long process.
I set Dolphin as my default file manager on the recent Xubuntu 21.10. via:
xdg-mime default org.kde.dolphin.desktop inode/directory
but the file manager within dialog windows still seems to be Nautilus with no way to resize the preview icons in the folder.
Solution found:
Intsalled kde plasma and then added in ~/.profiles at the end:
GTK_USE_PORTAL=1
The filepicker is now Dolphin.
Works fine and without bugs.
