SUMMARY Ther are two packages: qt5-imageformats (ver. 5.15.2) and kimageformats (ver. 5.78.0) and they confuse DOlphin in terms of dislplaying thumbs some of the newer image formats. Additionaly there's another package: libavif (ver. 0.8.4) which further complcates thinsgs. All of the are installed on my system, but regardless of the size (<3M) and the type of avif (8bpc, 8bpc yuv420, 10bpc-yuv444, 12bpc-pq, 12bpc-yuv444) Dolphin still can't display thumbs. It used to be, that qt5-imageformats avif plugin did all the work. No furthers messing. This time kimageformats and qt5-imageformats have duplicate functionality, but Dolphin. doesn't use neither of them. Surprisingly gwenview can display thumbs and phtotos, but no thumbs in Dolphin. WHich one is Gwenview using? qt5-imageformats, libavif dircectly or kimageformats. ONE SHARED LIBRARY. {ps. there's another shared library with duplication: qt5-webkit and qt5-webrender} SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.20.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.78 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Dolphin: 20.12.1 libavif: 0.8.4 qt5-imageformats: 5.15.2
AVIF thumbnail support is only in kio-extras master (will be in 21.04). There's no AVIF support in qt5-imageformats, not sure what makes you think so.
