See the symlink preview is too small

SUMMARY

After upgrading from Dolphin 24.12.1 to 24.12.2, symlink folder previews appear broken and display at an unusually small size.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Open Dolphin and go to settings:
    Configure Dolphin -> Interface -> Previews
    Enable/select "Folders" and "Text Files", then click OK. 

2.  Create a test file in your Documents folder:
     $ echo "hello" > ~/Documents/test_file.txt

3. Create a symlink to the Documents folder:
     $ ln -s ~/Documents ~/Desktop/symlink_folder

4. Open Dolphin and navigate to ~/Desktop to check if the folder preview icon is displayed too small:
     $ dolphin ~/Desktop 


OBSERVED RESULT
* The folder icons/previews for symlinks appear broken and are displayed at an unusually small size.


EXPECTED RESULT
* This issue occurs only in Dolphin 24.12.2. The previous version (24.12.1) does not have this problem.


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
* Arch Linux, KDE Plasma 6.2.5
* KDE Plasma Version:  6.2.5
* KDE Frameworks Version: 6.10.0
* Qt Version: 6.8.2
Comment 1 luca 2025-02-08 07:32:44 UTC 
I can confirm in Debian Sid
Comment 3 Eren 2025-02-09 08:13:06 UTC 
Can confirm on 24.12.2 but commit 961e6270e4401a6c7512df3a2e3efd09a25df962 from Jan 17 seems to have already fixed it. It was not included in the release.
Comment 4 Méven Car 2025-02-09 12:41:29 UTC 
This should be fixed in KF 6.11, due February 14.

I confirm, I didn't test it properly.

This is fixed in Dolphin 25.04.
Will try to fix it sooner.
