Version: (using KDE 4.3.0) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages If you drag and drop a PDF file to the Desktop, you get the choice between the Previewer and the Icon. But if you choose the Previewer, it actually creates an empty previewer plasmoid, i.e. it doesn't show the contents of the PDF. On the contrary, the preview is working correctly for other file formats, such as images of text files.
There seems to be something fishy with parsing the command-line arguments of the previewer.

SVN commit 1008495 by sebas: Fix dropping of content and creating the previewer We should not just create the applet, but also pass in the filename so it gets loaded, otherwise it would be like clicking on a file, opening the default application for that file-type, but not actually loading the file.
