In Nautilus->Edit->Preferences->Preview everything is set to Always and the size for previews is set to any files under 100Mb of size.
Still I can't see any previews. I am trying to look at the icons inside usrshareicons but all I get is a little icon that looks like piece of paper with an analog clock on it.I gotta see the images without having to open image viewer every time.
I have this little problem: when I open a folder with images from my network drive, I can't see the previews of the files.If the folder is on the local drive no issues, but with the remote one... no luck.I checked around for a solution, without results.. do you know if there is a solution for this little issue
Show previews is checked. compiz settings: KDE Compatibility and Plasma thumbnails are checked output when running in window:

Edit: In all the threads about it, the selection Extras>Window Previews wasn't required. Selecting this under compiz-settings-manager worked for me.
when I freshly installed 10.10 on release date my AVI files were showing thumbnail previews fine as I had pretty much every AVI with a thumbnail to it.
Got some more AVI files today and now they are all just a blank icon (the standard film strip one). Anyone know a way I can fix this?
NOTE! To use previews you need to activate KDE Compability in compiz settings manager and under KDE Compability check "Support Plasma Thumbnails". (Alternatively you can use kwin as window manager instead of compiz. That will give you previews for minimized windows as well.)
How is this done? I have CompizConfig Settings Manager and I can't find kde anywhere.
Just wondering why Kubuntu 10.10 has a file manager that by default doesn't show the previews of video files? Or did I do something wrong during the install? Does extra software need to be installed to view video files as thumbnails in Dolphin? Or, am I doing something wrong and everyone else who uses Dolphin after installing Kubuntu gets thumbnail previews of their video files? See the attached picture showing a preview of a graphics file. Maybe I'm expecting too much because Nautilus (in Ubuntu), Thunar (in Xubuntu) and Windows Explorer (Win XP/Vista/7) all show thumbnail previews of video files by default.
Gwenview has no thumbnail previews for videos (any type). I can play videos but its the previews I want so that I can open multiple clips into Openshot.
I have Ubuntu Natty 11.04 and I tried installing Kde multimedia and Kde-resources but to no avail.
Is anyone aware of an app that previews video files, i.e. by showing thumbnails, with or without an embedded player?
Running KDE4, the preview setting in Dolphin is very, very slow to render usable icons (even on my reasonably fast / beefy system) and I'm wondering if there isn't something better than the preview modes of file managers in general.
I STFW already and couldn't find anything - there are plenty of picture viewers and plenty of video players, but I couldn't find any video previewers. The closest thing seems to be mplayerthumbs, but if I'm not mistaken, that's just the preview mode built in to Dolphin.
I few weeks ago DockbarX upgraded tyo 0.43, and since then it hasn't worked at all; not just no window previews, but no icons for open applications - absolutely nothing. This also applies when there's an applet in a panel, not just AWN. I've been through the forums, tried going into Compiz Settings and unchecking, then rechecking KDE Compatibility etc, but it does nothing. Edot - installed awn-applet-dockbarx and gnome-dockbarx-applet from Synaptic but it doesn't help.
Is it possible to change my current nautilus window to have sudo capabilities,? e.g. to delete locked files. It may be lazy but if it takes a lot of navigation then it would be handy to somehow activate sudo from the open window without the terminal command (gksudo nautilus) which always begins at root.
I attempted to install Nautilus Elementary...the results were not what I expected however. First of all, it doesn't seem to even have installed correctly, but thats not the main issue...after installing, Nautilus looks like this...
I've added a new Nautilus action and I'd like to use another icon that those provided in the nautilus item con list (see attachment).
But whatever image I try (some PNG or even SVG files) I can't get them to be displayed. It seems there is a very special format, size, type to match the Gnome/GTK+/Nautilus icon requirements...
Does anyone know how I can move the location bar in nautilus up by the toolbar, as shown by this pic: http://i39.tinypic.com/2qdsyll.jpg
I'd rather not have to download the source of nautilus and edit the code / compile it myself.
By the way, a guy on Ubuntu Forums thought this was a mockup. It's not. It's the regular version of Nautilus, only I removed some toolbar buttons through the /usr/share/nautilus/ui xml files.
I just want the location bar next to the toolbar to conserve screen space, and be a bit more like Finder.
I was transferring data from one computer to my laptop and crash error came up on my laptop...
Error 1:
Nautilus-2.32.0-1.fc14 Reason: Process/usr/bin/nautilus was killed by signal 11 (SIGSEGV)
Error 2:
Openoffice.Org-Brand Crash
Reason: Process/usr/lib/openoffice.org3/program/soffice.bin was killed by signal (SIGABRT)
What could be the problem? Is it serious issue? I have been having security issues with Windows and are those issues begun once again? I have been under targeted attack since 2005.
When hovering the mouse over a jpeg in dolphin I expect a thumbnail to pop-up. This works for png files but not jpg. JPEG images are enabled in previews and files above 5MB are enabled.
Got a Dell GX280, and it is not seeing any usb drives. The usb keyboard works fine, the usb wireless adapter works fine, and if I run "lsusb" the thumb drive is listed, but it does show up in nautilus. I reinstalled nautilus, but it didn't help. What else do I need to do to get it to show up in nautilus so I can copy files?
Since a couple of days back mostly all the folders and files I had on my download directory are not visible in Nautilus. Some of them are still there, but the majority it's like vanished. The folder is where everything I download with Transmission goes into. The tricky thing is that all those files are visible through the terminal, pcman file manager or konqueror, but not Nautilus, which is very annoying. I've tried reinstalling Nautilus from Synaptic, checking the 'show hidden files' option, checking and changing files and folder permissions and I also checked that there's no hidden instance of Nautilus running. I have Ubuntu 10.04 (upgraded from a 9.10) and the files are on a ext4 drive. Nautilus version is 2.30.1
I've just been changing some of my icons in /usr/share/applications with the "gksu nautilus" command and now Nautilus won't open at all.
If click any of the options in 'Places' my PC just hangs then does nothing. If I try to open nautilus from the terminal I get the following output code...
I have a USB hard drive for backups using rdiff-backup (/media/backups/). I tried to do a backup last night but rdiff-backup could not find the appropriate destination directory of the drive. Sure enough a ls of the drive could not find it. Odd thing is that it is all visible in nautilus! An umount and a (re) mount did not help, even a re-boot did not help.
Ubuntu 10.04 has nautilus 2.31, which has a couple of features i don't like:space bar doesn't open multiple folders, like ENTER does. Sometimes it's more comfortable to hit the space bar instead of the enter key. I could do this in fomer versions (ubuntu 8.10 and 9.04).when i copy folders or files which are called the same as the ones in the destination folder, the prompt to replace/merge has the options accept and skip, and if i want to do the same every time the soincidence of names takes place, y have to first tick "always do the same" and then click "replace", for example. In former versions of nautilus/ubuntu (8.10, 9.04 at least) the prompt had buttons replace-replace all-skip-skip all, so a single click could do the job.How can i go back to those versions of nautilus, while still using ubuntu 10.04?
I've been using Linux Ubuntu for about 2 months now, and this is an interesting error...Anyone know how to fix it?When I loaded up the past two times, I've had issues...I get the following series of message:Quote:Could not update ICEauthority file /home/atmarsden.ICEauthorityThere is a problem with the configuration server./usr/lib/libconf2-4/gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with status 256)Nautilus could not create the following required folders: /home/atmarsden/desktop, /home/atmarsden/nautilus.Before running Nautilus, please create these folders, or set permissions such that Nautilus can create them.Followed by a blank screen with just my background... screensavers worketh not, and Alt-F2 only seems to run terminal, no apps.Running an example app in terminal (Chrome):
