Shows the effect of not displaying pics above 5 meg size

PlasmaShell is not able to display pictures above 5 megs in preview on dialogue boxes. I experience this opening the settings for the desktop choosing new wallpapers. In that dialogue I cant see the pictures becaue most of them have over 5 meg. Thats the magic size here...; all above is not previewable. In dolphin the setting for picsizes is at 30megs !   
I included a video to show the effect.

I had a review of this bug and the bug marked as duplicate. 
I believe that this is a new bug, and that the duplicate tag is in error. 
 
I tried the proposed fix in bug 328090, and it did not resolve the issue for me. 
The effects of this bug is noticed in both Dolphin and DigiKam. In DigiKam large photos are not previewed, and in fact are not even displayed when clicking on them. 

5mb is a ridiculously low limit for modern machines, the photos I am having trouble previewing was made by my phone, and there are no issues viewing these photos on Android or MS Windows.

Kind regards,

I am not sure if the thumbnailers in KF5 read a MaximumSize setting, but if they do, the config file is not in a KDE4 location, so you could try to adapt the path mentioned in the duplicate.
