I was using Ubuntu 20.04, when uploading Images in chrome i could see the image preview of the selected File.

Now in ubuntu 22.04 I can't see the image preview. I want to see the image preview in this file open dialog

I tried:

  • installed Gnome sushi
  • List item preferences / performance show thumbnails

    Does this answer your question? [Icon view in google chrome file chooser is gone on Ubuntu 22.04](https://askubuntu.com/questions/1406730/icon-view-in-google-chrome-file-chooser-is-gone-on-ubuntu-22-04) – vanadium May 16 '22 at 15:21

  • I have this issue for example in Slack or Signal, where I upload many pictures (screenshots) every day, now I cannot see which image I am uploading. Does anyone have a fix for that? Using Ubuntu 22.10 – viktorsmari Oct 24 '22 at 11:29

As a workaround you may use GMOME Sushi, which you can install by running in a terminal:

sudo apt install gnome-sushi

After installing Sushi, select a file and hit the space bar. A window opens to show the file, then hit up or down arrow, browsing the files, immediately showing them. Also see this screenshot:

    Apparently, you didn't get the question properly. Your picture shows the file browser, the question is about the file picker (open files window). – Luciano Jun 24 '22 at 20:45
  • I think I do, but the solution I found is not like having a preview inside the Window. But it's better than nothing. – Eddy Juillerat Jun 29 '22 at 14:34
