Description Leszek Lesner 2016-05-06 11:57:21 UTC
Dolphin preview settings normally save in ~/.local/share/dolphin/view_properties/.directory 
It however ignores all other XDG_DATA_DIRS like /usr/share/ or /usr/share/plasma

Reproducible: Always

The problem seems to be in this line here were it just reads the config file from one location:

Hi,

Dolphin works in split view folders and files and manages operations well, 
BUT it seems to unable to show the 
Preview of  Images / Icons  of any  file-format.
It  changes to the  necessary  space when I  activate preview but doesn't show any...
When I double-clink a file it will be shown at a file-viewer in a separate window.

I'd like to receive an advice how  make Dolphin operate normal...
Thanks for your support.

@Leszek, if this issue still exists, then please feel free to submit a patch at phabricator.kde.org if you can modify this such that all XDG_DATA_DIRS are respected. That would be awesome :)

@Micha, I think that this issue that you describe is unrelated to the one that Leszek reported. If the problem persists, please file a new bug report and we will take a look at your issue. Thanks!

Looks like it's moved from that file https://invent.kde.org/system/dolphin/-/blob/master/src/views/viewproperties.h

Was a patch ever able to be made for this issue?

I guess more importantly, is it still an issue?
