My "sketchbook" folder when using "Open" in Krita appimage...

Hi,

Something I really miss from the appimage version compare to the compiled version is how limited is the Open/Save dialog: it is impossible to get thumbnail preview. (see the picture in attachement: opening a sketch is mission impossible this way). 

I used to workaround that with using exclusively drag'n'drop from Dolphin over the past years. But since a long time now, drag and drop on the background of the multiview (or over the toolbar) doesn't work anymore (an unavoidable Qt issue, as far as I was tell). It require to be a drag'n'drop over the canvas of a opened document.

So today, while I was testing branch 4.4.2 compiled; I saw the cool Open/Save dialog with thumbnails preview and decided to report this wish (in case someone with Appimage knowledge knows how to get thumbnails in Krita Open/Save dialog). Thank you for the help!

That would need adding the KDE Plasma QPA plugin, which drags in all the tier 3 frameworks libraries, and that's really a bit of a problem. I've also tried hacking the Qt default file dialog to show a preview, but that didn't work out either.

Wait... It seems that there _is_ some provision now for drawing the icons ourselves. Let me check that.
