Thumbnails work for the Dolphin in my local well. However, thumbnails do not work in Dolphin connection to Android 9 over an MTP. Screenshot: https://ibb.co/MkYTCb0 Can someone fix it? Thanks! Dolphin version: 19.12.3 Operating System: Manjaro Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.68.0 Qt Version: 5.14.2 Kernel Version: 5.5.15-1 OS Type: 64-bit
Works for me with git master version.
Does dolphin Version 19.12.3 work for you?
I can confirm thumbnails/previews are not working properly over MTP in Dolphin 19.12.3 (in my case on Kubuntu 20.04).

I think all Linux file managers do not support thumbnails in Android. Gwenview works fine with thumbnails in Android.
I thought I had this problem too with Android 8 phone, but for me the problem was that in Dolphin's settings, 'General' -> 'Previews' -> 'Skip previews for remote files above' value (located in the bottom) was set to 'No previews'. Set it to some sane value depending on your workflow, for example 10MiB. If 'No previews' is still the default in latest Dolphin, it definitely should be changed to some better value. In Nautilus, checking 'Preferences' -> 'Search and Preview' -> 'Thumbnails' -> 'All files' works for me. But like in Dolphin, also check 'Smaller than' value, just in case.

Having this off by default is definitely extremely unintuitive/unexpected, but so glad there's at least a way to make it work properly :)
Ah right, this is because technically MTP counts as a remote connection.
