Bug ID: 446873
Summary: no previews for video files in file open dialog
Product: frameworks-kio
Version: 5.88.0
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Open/save dialogs
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
file open/save dialog can't configure which plugins should be used for previews
from GUI, and as such it doesn't display previews for video container files
(such as webm, mkv, avi...)
this can be remedied by editing .config/kdeglobals and adding the following
line:
```
Plugins=appimagethumbnail,audiothumbnail,fontthumbnail,ffmpegthumbs,djvuthumbnail,directorythumbnail,kraorathumbnail,opendocumentthumbnail,ebookthumbnail,windowsexethumbnail,imagethumbnail,windowsimagethumbnail,exrthumbnail,jpegthumbnail,svgthumbnail,comicbookthumbnail
```
which is basically copied from dolphin's config file under the
[PreviewSettings] section.
File dialog should either have preview plugins configurable via GUI or read the
dolphin's preview list.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
