[Bug 1505014] Re: dolphin doesn't load video thumbnail services
I too can confirm the presence of this bug, and that the symlink fix worked. But not only that, I now not only have previews for my videos but also for PDF files, as well as fonts, which appeared as black boxes in Dolphin prior to applying the symlink fix. The issues with the fonts was supposed to have been fixed in KDE5.6 (pardon me whilst I am struggling to remember the correct name), but after my upgrade via backports, that issue remained a problem for me (I looked but can't seem to find the report for that bug). Now with the symlink fix, I have previews for fonts again, and who knows what started working now that didn't work before? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to dolphin in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1505014 Title: dolphin doesn't load video thumbnail services To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/dolphin/+bug/1505014/+subscriptions -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs

All these plugins are provided by other packages, which are then used not only by Dolphin, but also by the file dialog, Folder View, and others, to generate thumbnails. Maybe ffmpegthumbs and mplayerthumbs are not ported to Qt5/KF5 yet?

I think it's quite obvious that nobody thought about this. We all agree that thinking more about this and some other aspects of the file management infrastructure would have been good, but I'm not sure if blaming just those who work on Dolphin makes much sense. Considering that the same infrastructure has been used for quite some time by Plasma's Folder View and by some applications that need a file dialog and that had their first KF5/Qt5-based release earlier than Dolphin, I think that it was not entirely unreasonable to assume that the worst KDE SC 4.x -> KF5 transition issues were already resolved or being worked on and discussed in public. Now, with the benefit of hindsight, it seems obvious that the KF5-based preview plugins (which exist since last year, thanks for the links, Rog131) should have been released as soon as possible in addition to the KDE SC 4.x-based ones (which are still needed until all applications are KF5-based). I guess the lesson to learn from this is that the dependencies between different packages should be analyzed in much more detail if another transition like this one, where everything is ported and released at its own pace and in different groups (frameworks, applications and workpspace), happens in the future. Moreover, one should not feel too safe if the software that is built by kdesrc-build seems to work fine, because it builds a lot of stuff which is either not released yet, or might never be released (like lib/konq in kde-baseapps). The same applies to the packages made from git checkouts which distros made (thankfully!) available to those who were willing to test KF5-based apps early.
