Description Kai Uwe Broulik 2013-10-02 12:00:21 UTC 
Dolphin does not show preview of PSD (Photoshop Document) files. However, if a folder contains PSD files, its icon will show the PSD files inside superimposed.
I have kdegraphics thumbnailers and all installed, and I enabled all the previewers.
The desktop file for the image previewer lists PSD files as supported mimetype, and JPG, PNG, etc show preview. And I recall it working some time ago.

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Frank Reininghaus 2013-10-02 12:06:54 UTC 
Thanks for the bug report.

We sent all KFileItems to the KIO::PreviewJob, no matter what the type is, so I don't see how it can be Dolphin's fault if creating previews for a particular type fails. Do you get previews for these files in the "File Open" dialog of other apps or in FolderView?
Comment 2 Kai Uwe Broulik 2013-10-02 13:36:51 UTC 
No, I don't get thumbs. Re-assigning.
Comment 3 Christoph Feck 2013-10-02 19:44:20 UTC 
How big are the PSD files? You might hit the file-size limit, which you can configure in the [PreviewSettings] section, e.g.

[PreviewSettings]
MaximumRemoteSize=0
MaximumSize=1258291200
RemoteMaximumSize=12582912
UseFileThumbnails=true
Comment 4 Kai Uwe Broulik 2013-10-02 19:53:53 UTC 
I thought that size limit has been dropped and there now is only a limit for remote locations?

I can confirm this problem.    Using KDE 4.11.2 (Fedora 19).    Other graphics files show (correct) preview/thumbnails, but PSD files just show the generic graphics file type icon.

I have reproduced the problem on two different F19/KDE 4.11.2 systems, and on a 'clean' F19/KDE 4.11.2 install under VMware.

Just updated to Fedora 20, and PSD previews/icons now work correctly.   
kdelibs-4.11.3-1.fc20.x86_64
Additional info:    The same version of kdelibs on Fedora 19 (updates/testing) did _not_ show PSD previews/icons correctly, so it is possible the problem was not with kdelibs itself??

I can comfirm this on Kubuntu, KDE Platform Version 4.11.2
Comment 8 Nate Graham 2018-06-29 21:07:55 UTC 
Is this still an issue with KDE Frameworks 5.47? I see previews for big .psd files?
