Image Insert Does not Have Thumbnails option

[Mark Christian-3]

Hi,

When we go to the Image insert dialog to insert a local image.  There is no option to view thumbnails on the local OS in the browse dialog.  Is there an option to turn this on?

Thanks,
Mark Christian.

Hi Mark,

This is because we don't use the native "open" dialog on Windows, we use the one provided by the JRE.  This was done for a couple of reasons:

* Java's native dialog support links to an old version of the common controls, Vista isn't too bad but it displays the Windows 98-style open dialog on XP
* Java does not pass file type filters to the dialog correctly


The last time we looked at this was early 2008, I don't believe much has changed since then but I will log a note in our bug tracker to check if the latest JRE updates use a better native dialog.

Regards,
Andy
