SUMMARY Prior too 6.12, folder previews displayed normally for SMB shares. Updating to 6.12, previews do not show. NFS shares continue to function normally. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Check "show previews for folders" in settings in Dolphin 2. Set file preview size to some large number (1GB) 3. Mount a SMB share, eg: sudo mount -t cifs -o credentials=/home/user/.creds,uid=user,exec,mfsymlinks //192.168.1.10/Share /mnt/Share/ 4. Create a folder. 5. Put photos in the folder OBSERVED RESULT Folder shows with no previews on it. File thumbnails function normally. NFS shares continue to work normally. EXPECTED RESULT Folder previews work. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch, 6.13.7 KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.12.0 Qt Version: 6.8.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Confirmed. I noticed this bug after I updated. Operating System: Manjaro Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.12.0 Dolphin Version: 24.12.3 Qt Version: 6.8.2 Kernel Version: 6.12.19-1-MANJARO (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Graphics Processor: Intel® Iris® Xe Graphics
Does anyone know which commit introduced this bug in Dolphin? Using Dolphin on my network shares is almost unusable now. :(
How does such an obvious bug go unnoticed? I can't use KDE for browsing directories over a network share because of this bug, which didn't exist before 6.12. Do the devs not use Dolphin over network shares?
Do KDE devs use KDE? How was this not immediately noticed and fixed? No folder previews on SMB shares. That's major break in usability. Anyone who uses SMB shares would notice this immediately after the breaking update to Dolphin.
