> Seems like a channer problem.
Whether you like 4chan or think anybody who goes there is the devil incarnate, using 4chan as your excuse for dismissing such basic functionality as thumbnails in a file picker is deranged. Why not abolish file pickers entirely, since 4chan uses it? In fact lets ban drinking water too, I hear nazis like to drink it. Ban air too, we wouldn't want anybody using it to say something hateful. Is there any insanity "but 4chan exists!" can't be used to justify?
I don't really have anything against channers. I'm just saying it's a problem that one small group disproportionately complains about but does little to fix. I think that is pretty indicative of /g/ discourse which revolves around baiting other users into flamewars.
Every mainstream desktop has thumbnails in the file picker. People who want this aren't the odd ones, those who dismiss it are.

I seriously doubt that, since you're the one who brought them up in an absurd attempt to deflect a common sense criticism of an obvious shortcoming.

fair enough.
