Description Kai Uwe Broulik 2013-11-27 09:52:10 UTC

When browsing through an smb network share on Windows using Dolphin no thumbnails are generated, even though I set the maximum size for thumbnails on remote shares to 50 MB.
Thumbnails are neither shown in Dolphin's view, nor the sidebar, nor Gwenview.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make sure to increase the file size for thumbnail generation on remote drives
2. Navigate to an SMB remote share using Dolphin on Windows
3.
Actual Results:  
No thumbnails generated for any file (JPG, PDF, ...)

Expected Results:  
Thumbnails generated like on local drives

Works on local drives

It's certainly still happening on Linux, which is annoying.

Hmm seems fine here

Ah, I had "0 MB" set as the threshold for previews being generated for remote files. Increasing that 50 MB makes the previews appear!
