Description Janet 2009-07-29 04:14:10 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.2.96)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

For about half the folders in my home directory I define individual folder icons to quickly recognize them, e.g. use colored folders or folders which refer to the content of the folder. Alas these individual icons are completely ignored by dolphin. When I refresh the directory view they are shown but then the preview feature comes in and the folder icons change to blue standard folder with previews on it. 

What I expect is that either the individual folder icon is displayed with the preview icons on it or the individual folder icon is displayed and the previews are not displayed at all for those folders with individual icons (preferably). That's the bug part.

Would be nice to be able to turn that preview feature off for single folders though (folder settings).

I think this one and Bug 151932 can go together?

I wonder if this should be addressed in the folder thumbnail generator...

Proposed patch

This is only going to work for local folder.. so I need that confirmation. Otherwise, the patch needs to be adapted somehow.

Thanks Dario for the patch! Would it be possible that you submit this patch at http://reviewboard.kde.org? I'm wondering whether tempDirectory.setScheme("file") is really the way to go or whether there is a nicer way to do this. I'm sure people like David Faure have a good answer for this...

Comment 9 Dario Andres 2010-01-20 13:54:18 UTC

I added to the CC the person which worked on the directory thumbnails, hoping to get an answer... but well.. I could move this to reviewboard.
