For what you want I think it would take a good bit of UI work but I'm not sure its worth the time investment.
In the medium term this project will switch to GTK4 at some point which has a completely redesigned file chooser that does its own thumbnail view. Its thumbnails are also fairly small but at that point UI improvements would go upstream I imagine.
Hello Flatpak developers,
I'm having an issue previewing images before I attach them to an email. When I attach images to emails, I like to preview the image before to make sure I attach the right one. When I try to preview images on my system—xdg-desktop-portal-gtk triggered by Gmail in Google Chrome on my Debian system running Xfce—the thumnails are so small that I can't see the image—see screenshot.
I am guessing the file choosing dialog is xdg-desktop-portal-gtk because when I run the following command that kills the xdg-desktop-portal-gtk process and the file choosing box disappears.
I think the small thumbnail might be because the thumnail is set to 128 pixels; however, I'm not sure—see the filechooser.c code. https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal-gtk/blob/9702bacc1ae8de2f357974ced2bcd6997dfd4e69/src/filechooser.c#L386
I tried right clicking on the image to open a preview—didn't find a menu item. Also I tried pressing Spacebar to make a preview pop up like macOS Quick Look—that caused the file to attach. I also tried dragging the FileChooser bigger but that didn't work.
Can I make the thumbnails bigger or otherwise preview the images somehow through xdg-desktop-portal-gtk FileChooser?
Thanks for taking a look at this issue and see below for a screenshot and also some terminal output about my system and package versions.
