Description Valentyn Pavliuchenko 2011-05-13 22:27:55 UTC

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.6.2) 
OS:                Linux

Please increase default preview file size limit from 5Mb to 15Mb.

The reason is that modern digital still cameras offer higher resolution images that doesn't fit into 5Mb limit (15 megapixel JPEG takes from 6 to 13Mb). Of course user can go to preferences and increase max file size setting, but most of users will just think that dolphin is buggy (never knowing that this is configurable). As hi-res JPEGs are becoming normal IMHO defaults should be adjusted to let common cases work out of the box.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Ignore maximum size for local files when creating previews

It is up to the plugins to decide what sensible size is required for
creating a preview, this cannot be decided by the user for all
plugins. A maximum size only makes sense for remote files, where
the user implicitely decides how much of the bandwith may be used
for having previews.

Thanks!

I just upgraded to KDE 4.9.5. Now I can see thumbnail previews of JPG files > 5 MB in the information panel. 

Thanks a lot!

But opening the trash can, the information panel still seems to block previews for images > 5 MB.

Could you, please, fix this limitation, too? 

When you are filtering digiKam images and just deleted 30 bad and accidentally 1 good image, it would be very helpful, to see previews for those deleted images.

could it be that some hardcoded limit is still there ?
i filed bug 330868 about seemingly such a thing
