[dolphin] [Bug 406725] Allow folders to be excluded for thumbnail generation
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=406725 --- Comment #14 from Eddie J Carswell II --- I think polluting the metadata of the files in question would be an annoying side effect. Ideally, we could just use a config file for this. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=406725 --- Comment #13 from Szczepan Hołyszewski --- Perhaps a system level solution could work. If we could somehow control the user/group under which the thumbnailer process runs, this would instantly make thumbnailing opt-in globally. By creating a group named "crawlers" and runing the thumbnailer as nobody:crawlers, one could allow thumbnails in selected directories by granting read access to crawlers with ACL. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

I know it's my fault not thinking about this possibility in the first place - but that you cannot blacklist folders just blew my mind.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=406725 --- Comment #9 from Bobby Wibowo --- Additionally this should also help in performance of KDE Connect's file system browsing. Browsing the st she of a device connected with KDE Connect has awful loading time in the beginning, because Dolphin attempts to generate thumbnails for everything it lays its eyes upon. Temporarily turning off the "Show previews ..." toggle doesn't seem to mean anything to the actual background thumbnailer. It indeed doesn't show the previews, but it's still actually generating them in the background anyways. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=406725 --- Comment #8 from Szczepan Hołyszewski --- Also what is REALLY desired here is the ability to completely and consistently DENY the thumbnailing subsystem ACCESS to certain files. This isn't what "Show thumbnails" checkbox does: it prevents thumbnails from being shown in the dolphin directory view, but when you hover on a file, Dolphin will still generate its thumbnail and show it in the properties pane. What is desired is the ability to **prevent the thumbnail file under the .cache directory from ever possibly being created**, and **this** should work per-directory. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

I want to be able to use common properties for all folders, EXCEPT for thumbnailer settings which I DO want to be able to override per directory. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=406725 --- Comment #6 from Bobby Wibowo --- Also I noticed that this KDE Vaults folders already have themselves blacklisted from the thumbnails generation. It'd be lovely if users could extend this themselves if they chose to use other third-party folder encryption tools. Or even when simply mounting a separate encrypted disk, cause thumbnails are being generated into $HOME/.cache/thumbnails. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

For now the "Show previews of files and folders" toggle only applies to that specific folder, and not any sub-folders inside it. It also doesn't disable thumbnails generation on the tooltip when you hover over a specific folder, EVEN if "Show previews of files and folders" was disabled for that specific folder and its parent folder. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=406725 --- Comment #2 from Isaak --- Hi Julian That's indeed one way to do it, but it's not really efficient. It'd be more useful if a setting could be applied on a specific folder that only manipulates the Preview behavior and does that recursively in subfolders. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Go to the Settings->General->View and choose "Remember properties for each folder". Afterwards, the preview setting will work on a per-folder basis. Be aware that this also let's Dolphin remember other changes to the view properties, such as Details mode vs Icon mode or the icon size. Does that fulfill your needs or have I misunderstood your request? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
