--- Comment #12 from TheAssassin <theassas...@assassinate-you.net> ---
Been talking to @kbroulik and the main reason KIO ignores thumbnails is not the
lack of these extended attributes, but KIO not showing thumbnails for files it
doesn't have (enabled) thumbnailers for. The logic seems to be "no thumbnailer
in the list -> thumbnailer must be disabled", the use case "thumbnailer doesn't
exist" isn't covered. Now, you might think "okay, then let's change that and
add a 'fallback' thumbnailer that looks for existing thumbnails and can make
use of them when there's no thumbnailer at all", but that wouldn't really solve
the issue either, since we have a _proper_ AppImage thumbnailer and don't have
to rely on the thumbs AppImages create.
Therefore: not worth the effort.
On the AppImage side, adding these attributes to thumbnails is a non-trivial
task that will bloat our runtime and will add dependencies. Therefore: also not
worth the effort.
