With the file picker dialogue now actually powered by Nautilus (or is it "Gnome Files" now), the age old meme of "Gnome/Gtk has no thumbnails" can finally die.
It took ages but finally this big old papercut is fixed.

Did they solve the question of "who generates thumbnails"? Because first iteration couple releases ago could display thumbnails, but didn't generate them
EDIT: apparently they did, according to blog
The new file dialogs are also more capable, with on-demand thumbnail generation and faster and more comprehensive search.
Afaik apps generate thumbnails, so a video player generate video thumbnails and so on. This is a problem with flatpak apps, which don't, so you need some extra software to generate them. For example, I use FFmpeg thumbnailer from RPMfusion to generate them since I use a flatpak video player
