Dolphin is using KDE preview plugins. With the KDE4 the Microsoft Windows Executables plugin is part of the kde-runtime. The plugin is (probably) not yet ported to the KDE frameworks 5. Some of the ported kde-runtime plugins are now part of the kio-extras. Meanwhile - Workarounds Use the KDE4 applications - The KDE4 applications can use the KDE4 thumbnailers. The Konqueror can use the KDE4 'Microsoft Windows Executables' thumbnailer. There is also the dolphinpart4 - https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dolphin There is a third party generic thumbnailer: http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php/Keneric+KDE+(KF5)+thumbnailer?content=174485 . It can show the MS Windows executable thumbnails: Image - Left: Dolphin 16.04.0 - Right: Dolphinpart4: http://i.imgur.com/vv5HnA0.png More: https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=223&t=129633&p=356016#p356016
