The same thing happens on my laptop, where the same upgrade was performed a few days ago. No (thumbnail) previews of photos or any other docs.
Comment 2 Alex Bikadorov 2018-10-04 18:00:58 UTC 
You need to have the package "kio-extras" installed.

Thank you!
This solved the problem, indeed. 
I was searching everywhere, couldn't find a solution.
I hope this would help other people.
