Feature Request: Add a preview pane to Nemo.

[rtevans01]

• Cinnamon version: 4.4.8
• Distribution:19.3

As the title says, I'm requesting a preview pane in the Nemo file manager. Evidently, it's already built in since it's visible if you need to upload an image to a website. However, I can't find an option in the settings to enable it for regular use.

BTW, I have 2 other feature requests I'd like to make. Should I submit them here instead of spamming the Issues section or submit them separately?

Thanks.

The dialog in your screenshot is the file chooser provided by the Gtk+ 3 toolkit library. That's not Nemo though I can understand why you'd think so.

I see. Regardless, I think it would be nice to have that feature included in Nemo if possible.

Also details pane and arrange files by group feature.

Let me write something about this wonderful feature. A field report with Fedora and Gnome. I know this feature was or is already implemented in Gnome and Nemo. But I have always had performance problems with it. My use case is simple, I have local folders with photos in different file sizes. The names of the files are autogenerated, as it is the case today with embedded operating systems for digital cameras. And the view or the view change on the camera is more performant, yes, much more performant than on Fedora with Gnome. When switching from one photo to another, it happens that Fedora/Gnome/Nemo gets stuck and does not return to normal operation. A switch to switch on/off the feature may be useful. But more important is a redesign to solve this performance problem.

I just left a comment in #2122.
