[Lubuntu] File Selector: How to preview an image
Hello,How do I get a preview of an image file when using the file selector in Opera? (Or how do I make the Icons larger)?
In Linux, when I use the file selector in Chromium, I can see an image before I open it.

I changed the file selector used by Opera (http://www.opera.com/support/usingopera/operaini/#file_selector). But that did not help.

I still experience this issue under Opera 12.00. I have also changed the dialog tookit in opera:config but no luck. Here's the output of opera --full-version:
Opera 12.00 Build 1467 for Linux x86_64. OS: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 Architecture: x86_64 Compositor active: No Toolkit: Gtk 2.24.10 using Gorilla Desktop environment: Xfce Window manager: Xfwm4 Screens: 0: 1440x900 depth 24,32 1: 2880x900 depth 24,32 (default)
Is there any update on this issue? I'd really like to have the image preview, since I operate a lot with them.

I believe the KDE file selector has that capability (search for dialog toolkit in opera:config), but I'm not sure.
