Hi, I've followed the workaround proposed there: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdegraphics-thumbnailers/+bug/1574049 That is: sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/plugins/gsthumbnail.so /usr/lib/x86_64- linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/ and I immediately have had PDF preview in Dolphin. I precise I did already have kio-extras installed in case it matters. Chris
