Description Nate Graham 2025-08-13 19:01:55 UTC 
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install Dolphin from nightly Flatpak repo (https://cdn.kde.org/flatpak/dolphin-nightly/org.kde.dolphin.flatpakref)
2. Launch Dolphin, navigate to a PDF file

OBSERVED RESULT
It has no thumbnail

EXPECTED RESULT
It has a thumbnail

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
KDE's thumbnailers are binary plugins, so they would have to be included in the Dolphin Flatpak, or the KDE runtime. Evidently kdegraphics-thumbnailers (the thing that provides these thumbnails) isn't included in either one.
