Compact view shows no thumbnails

[David Prieto]

Binary package hint: nautilus

I'm using the latest Nautilus on Intrepid.

According to the gnome 2.24 release notes the new compact view should show thumbnails (http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/2.24/figures/rnusers.nautilus.compact.png.es), but in reality no thumbnails are shown in this new view. Not for pictures, not for videos, seemingly not for any other filetype.

that's not really a bug as explained on bugzilla the thumbnail are not very useful on so small icons

[David Prieto (frandavid100-gmail)]

I don't quite get it. Then why does the list view have icons? By default, both views show icons at the same size.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

there is an inconsistency there and that should be discussed on bugzilla.gnome.org, but do you really think those images in the list view are useful?

[David Prieto (frandavid100-gmail)]

I'm not really sure, I almost always use icon view anyway. But having them in the file chooser (open / save menus) has always been useful to me, and they're not bigger, there.

The compact view has been deprecated, closing this bug
