multiple issues with default fedora 19 file manager
Just upgraded to fedora 19 from fedora 17. After tonnes of issues that i faced during upgrade and post upgrade process, I'm left with these unresolved ones.
I'm running GNOME. In the order of priority: 1) No videos thumbnails while picture thumbnails work well. 2) Backspace button useless in file manager, works well in firefox though. 3) No minimize or close buttons on file manager. I've been away from fedora changes for a year now and I wonder what did i miss during this time. I can't imagine such basic things lacking in this file manager. |
Upgrading from Fedora 17 to 19 does not go well..

You will need to do a FULL install so that your system works as it should. Hope it all works out for you. |

Now, only thing that is troubling me is absence of thumbnails for videos. Could you please help me with that? does theme also effect thumbnails? |
RPM fusion might help you here..

Mmm, how strange..

You might need to re-boot your system for it to work. |

I'd like to add that there are no thumbnails for mp3 audio files too..only picture thumbnails are shown. |
Try this extra out..

Picture thumbnails are a good sign, this means that if you have any films on your system they will show up also (hopefully). :) Try this extra out: ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/rpms.fami...emi.x86_64.rpm When finished the install will say that it has not installed, but in truth it has, so do not worry too much about that. |

i was constantly trying things and don't know what worked but i can view all audio and most video thumbnails now. Only ones that are not showing are where many videos are present in a single folder. |
