[Odin] Image Preview on File Chooser

phenobarbital commented 2 years ago

What Happened?

I'm upgraded my desktop (a fresh installation) from Hera to Odin and I lost the functionality to see image previews on File Chooser. trying to attach an image file using the file chooser, is missing the image preview from previous versions. Also, pantheon-photos crash when I try to open an image, but only happens in directories with many images.

Steps to Reproduce

1.- install Odin and re-use the same /home folder from the previous version (Hera) 2.- Simply try to use the file chooser and click over an image

Expected Behavior

In previous version (Hera) the Image Preview on File Chooser works.

OS Version

6.x (Odin)

Software Version

Latest release (I have run all updates)

Log Output

The syslog when pantheon-photos crashed is:

The Odin FileChooser file chooser is a modified Gtk3 FileChooser so it would probably be possible to add an image preview widget to it but I understand that in Gtk4 the FileChooser will not support preview widgets so unless it implements something natively I am not sure what can be done (apart from writing a completely new widget to replace the Gtk one).

So I guess this is a no go in Horus too? That's a shame, the preview is a really useful feature
