SUMMARY
General > Previews > "Skip previews for remote files above" is set to "No previews". Dolphin generates previews regardless. Since Dolphin's preview generation is very inefficient, it is a significant problem that it's not possible to disable it. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Ensure you have a remote fs
2. Open Dolphin
3. Ensure Dolphin detects your fs as a remote fs (check whether it's listed under "Remote" in the sidebar)
4. Ensure "Skip previews for remote files above" is set to "No previews".
5. Navigate to any directory that contains files which Dolphin generates previews for, observe previews being generated.

OBSERVED RESULT
Thumbnails are being generated

EXPECTED RESULT
Thumbnails should not be generated
