Fedora 39. Downland an image and then look at it in picker and there’s no thumbnail. The picker won’t generate thumbnails.

Ah, I know what you mean.

Yeah, the way it works now I think the file picker relies on Nautilus to generate the thumbnail first, so any new images will use a placeholder instead. Once you’ve viewed the file in Nautilus once, though, the thumbnail will show up in the picker from then on.

Yep which when downloading from one place to then upload to another place is not part of the process

Here’s hoping this gets fixed, it’s annoying and stupid

Depends on your use case, I suppose. I’m generally editing existing images and files, so I had practically forgotten that the picker doesn’t generate the image itself. For me, thumbnails work perfectly 99% of the time, but for someone who is constantly working with freshly downloaded files, I can understand that it would be a pain.
