How to get desktop icons to show images?
I'm using Xubuntu 16.04 and my desktop is loaded with icons. Sometimes the icons (many are .jpgs) show the images but more often than not they don't. It is very helpful being able to see the images. Is there any way to get the images to appear all the time? Thanks.

-- get this it is odd display thumbnails ? do not display thumbnails for the "icon=/usr/share/icons/image.jpg" in the *.desktop file to be used and NOT!!! the text in the *.desktop file the folder /home/UserName/Desktop must be set to NOT!!!! display thumbnails get it ??? it is a bit wonky |
Screenshot offsite place I use when trying to get a point across is http://www.postmyimage.com/
Then I include the url in my answers to questions. In your case. You post some shots of what, where, and how you tried. Just a friendly suggestion. https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtop...?f=110&t=37798 |

there will be a setting to set ALL!! folders to the same setting
or set every folder by hand and every folder can be different it is not a single folder setting like you posted but a desktop manager system setting also make 100% sure that the location toy use is correct an example for my HP calculator Desktop file Code:
[Desktop Entry] Icon=/DATA/nonpareil/bin/11c.png and this was not a screenshot Icon=/DATA/nonpareil/bin/11c.png but the icon location |

Well. I am finally on my XFCE desktop in my bike shop. So I figured I would just play a little with one data partition icon on my Desktop.
https://s23.postimg.org/voihjsj1n/Screenshot.png I had to log out and log back in to get it to take. I right clicked on my Data partition icon. I next picked picked Properties>Emblem. Then I gave it a google/picasa looking emblem as a label of sorts. If it is not what you want. Oh well. Sorry. I don't read minds well in 92F heat outside here. Signing off to get me some liquid refreshment. It is freaking hot today. |

Well, with help, I found the File Manager window but no matter how I configured it, it didn't display the images in the icons. (And I remember doing something there that displayed them.)

open the desktop file in gedit or kate and EDIT it
the file extension .desktop might not be displayed the "desktop" folder is not treated as a normal folder |
