Bug ID: 439568
Summary: Desktop icon thumbnails not appearing
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.22.3
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Desktop Containment
Assignee: notm...@gmail.com
Reporter: jajdorks...@gmail.com
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
Thumbnails appear correctly in Dolphin, so I have the appropriate thumbnailers
installed. I've made sure that Icons -> Show Previews is enabled as well as the
preview plugins themselves. Refreshing the desktop doesn't seem to have any
effect.
WORK-AROUND
I did find a way to "force" thumbnails to show up by doing the following:
1. Add/copy new file to desktop. No thumbnail.
2. Open Dolphin and go to ~/Desktop (going to "desktop:" did *not* work for
this solution, so maybe this is a bug in something else like KIO?)
3. On the desktop, toggle Icons -> Show Previews off and then on again. The
cached thumbnail appears to load. Side note: it would be nice if Refresh
Desktop worked here.
This was also present in 5.22.2, and possibly earlier versions.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Save or copy a new file that can be thumbnailed to the desktop.
2. Only the mimetype icon is displayed, even after selecting "Refresh Desktop".
OBSERVED RESULT
No preview thumbnails on desktop icons, only mimetype icons.
EXPECTED RESULT
Thumbnail icons for files on the desktop without having to do the above
mentioned work-around.
