Comment 1 David Edmundson 2025-06-01 10:21:08 UTC 
KDE now supports the 3rd party thumbnail spec. See  (https://tecnocode.co.uk/2013/10/21/writing-a-gnome-thumbnailer/) . There might be one already. KDE having it's own one would would not scale well.
Comment 2 Maxime 2025-06-01 21:31:25 UTC 
So what? I have to use gnome-thumbnailer?
...I'm not sure I understood your answer...
