A Screenshot Of An Aliased PDF Preview In Dolphin

# SUMMARY

(At least PNG and PDF) thumbnails are aliased in Dolphin's preview pane. This is most obvious when they are rotated (presumably, for aesthetic purposes).

# STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. Create a directory.

2. Add a PDF and/or PNG file. Ideally, solely one of either.

3. Enable the preview pane.

4. Select the directory (using empty space).

# OBSERVED RESULT

In the preview pane, the thumbnail is aliased.

# EXPECTED RESULT

It shouldn't be. Even if the image is low-resolution, its circumference shouldn't be aliased, especially when an analogue photorgraph-esque margin is applied, as Dolphin (or the thumbnailer) does.
