I upgraded to Catalina, thumbnail preview stopped working on my desktop.
I tried everything that I know, "Show icon preview" is ticked, Preview app is applied to open all kinds of images, but still just the generic icons appears. This is very frustrating, since I am working with images and video files, that I need quick access to.
Hope to someone help me with this.
I was able to resolve the preview issue by doing following.
In Finder, press Shift ⇧ + Command ⌘ + G and enter ~/Library/Preferences.
Then find com.apple.finder.plist and move it to the Trash.
Right-click on the Finder icon in the dock and select Relaunch.
Press and hold the Option Key
Right-Click or Control-Click Finder in your Dock (maintain holding Option)
Select Relaunch from the pop-up menu (If you don’t see it make sure you hold Option before right-clicking Finder)
If this doesn't work, ensure that JPG files are associated with Preview. To do this, right-click on one of them and choose Get Info. Under the Open With section, select Preview, and then click Change All. You may need to relaunch Finder with this method too.

google drive and other program added functionality
I think that if google drive and the other program to create text files did that, there should be a way to do the same and add the open in terminal functionality.
open in terminal ubuntu functionality
Thank you in advance!
System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Services
Enable New Terminal at Folder
Right click or ctrl-click any folder and you can now choose New Terminal at Folder from the menu.
Yes you can. While in the finder navigate to the folder where you want to open a terminal. Open that folder and right click. One of the options is to open a terminal.
If you want to use iterm there is a 3rd party app named Go2Shell which puts an icon on your finder window. Clicking on the icon opens a terminal window in whatever directory you're currently in. You can set Go2Shell to use iTerm.
You can try this little Finder Toolbar application: https://github.com/Ji4n1ng/OpenInTerminal
It looks more like macOS Toolbar style.

I'm using a mac book pro.
When I'm pressing the upper left corner green button - it makes the window
into full screen and hides the dock bar.
I want my window to be almost full screen - I want the dock bar to remain.
One option is to manually starch it, but this is something that needs to be done every time.
Is there a way of customizing the upper left green button for that?
The functionality you're looking for is known as "zooming" the window. It used to be that the green button did that, but these days it enters full-screen mode instead. If you hold down the Option key when you click the green button, it reverts to the old zoom operation. You can also use the Zoom item of the Window menu. You can also configure things so that double-clicking on the title bar zooms the window, on the Dock pane of System Preferences.

While using Mac OS, its very useful to use "Search with Google" tool in context menu to directly search selected text from error windows or other content:
But problem is, that it always open Safari by default. I have Google Chrome as default browser, but it makes no sense.
Does anyone know how to force this option open in Google Chrome instead of Safari?
The OP is not using the context menu in Chrome, and does not have the "Search Google for...." option.
The "Search with Google" entry is provided by Safari and won't work with another browser to my knowledge.
The closest thing that I found in my journey to provide the same desire was to create a service of your own using Automator.
Instructions:
Open Automator and choose Service as the type
Add a "Run Shell Script" action by dragging it to the right pane
Add script
open "http://www.google.com/search?q=$(ruby -rcgi -e 'print CGI.escape $<.read.chomp')"
Adjust the TLD as needed for your country specific Google page.
ex: http://www.google.co.in/search?q=
Save the service as "Search Google"
Activate the service in System Preferences and optionally assign a keyboard shortcut. Once activated, "Search Google" will appear in the context menu
Be sure to choose "Search Google for..." near the top of the list in the right-click dialog box. If you choose "Search with Google" (near the bottom) it's still going to open Safari.
