Version: (using KDE 4.2.0) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages The File Preview function in Konqueror/Dolphin has a maximum file size limit of 100 MB. Therefore any files larger than 100MB will not have any previews enabled. This severely limits its usefulness for large images and video content, and is a regression from KDE 3. Nautilus 2.24 suffers from this too, but with a 1GB restriction so it's less of a problem. With people now using computers as HD media centres I would recommend letting the user choose "0 MB" for "no maximum file size", or if an upper limit must be imposed, something more sensible like 10GB. Steps to duplicate: Open Dolphin Click Settings->Configure Dolphin Click View Modes In the File Previews pane, notice the "Maximum file size" slider and spinbox can be moved from 1 to 100 MB.
