How To Make PCmanFM Shows All Images Thumbnail

Change the amout of image file size we want to generate

PCmanFM shows the thumbnails for all images

Since GNOME went to version 3 (which is a disaster), LXDE is now one of the most popular and most used desktop environments in Linux, alongside MATE and XFCE. It is good looking, modern and amazingly fast.

But don't you aware? That PCmanFM, the default File Manager for LXDE, ain't able to show all of our images/pictures/photos thumbnail. At the first time I realized this, I was lil bit confused. Why, and what happened ? Was this a bug ?

Apparently, this is not a bug. It is the default setting of PCmanFm for the sake of speed. This file manager won't show thumbnails for images/pictures with file size more than 2 MB.

So, to make PCmanFM able to show thumbnail for images with size more than 2 MB, we have to set it. To do that, just go to menu Edit > Preferences > Display, and at the bottom, change the value of "Do not generate thumbnails for file exceeding this size" from 2000 KB to bigger size we want. Maybe 10000 KB (10MB) is enough, but if you are a photographer, you probably need more value because better image (in resolution and quality) will produce bigger file size.

That's all.

Q4OS 4.6 "Gemini" Review: A Real Hidden Gem

You need to play, trying something new even for a few little differences. For a long time I've been using Ubuntu family as my daily driver. The main reason is probably just same as any other Ubuntu user: it's reliable. You can't go wrong with Ubuntu. It works almost in any device, even for the newest one. It is the ultimate Linux distro you can rely on. However, sometimes, you will feel bored. The temptation to flirt with other new distro is unbearable. There are a lot of hot new Linux distros waiting to try. A Real Hidden Gem I've known this distro for a quite long time. At first, it offered Trinity Desktop as the main desktop, which brings me the sweet memories about KDE3. It is simply fast, stable, almost without any issue, and it is based on Debian. I install it on my old machine and I love t

How To Install Mac OS X Lion Theme On Lubuntu / LXDE

So many people admire it because of its beauty, safety (yes, it is an UNIX) and its profesional image as “an OS for profesional modern art designer”.

Howto Connect To Windows Share Network (Connect To Server) Easily in PCManFM

In Nautilus 3.4, Nemo, or Caja, there is a very useful menu called "Connect to Server". This menu allow us to connect to a Windows Share network via Samba.
