What are the options for text file previews problem
I read there seems to be a bug that stops text file previews from showing (if I understand correctly) in Ubuntu 16.04. It worked fine in 14.04 but now it just looks like an empty file.
I have set Edit> Preferences> Preview to Local Files Only <3Mb and there is no "Show text" button as previous OS had, which one reply said.
Therefore,I was wondering if anyone has found a work around to get the first few lines to show, so at a quick glance I can see if the file has text in it or not?.
Or has everyone just accepted this as the new norm?.
Or has everyone moved on to 18.04?.
Thanks for any help in this matter.
