FWIW gentoo here, kde 4.9.2. Preview popups? I don't see them here either. I *DO* see thumbnails if I turn on the icon-preview functionality, but that's in-place icon thumbnails, not popups. As you may know, konqueror uses the dolphin kpart for file management, just with a different wrapper around it. Some versions ago (4.7 or 4.8 I guess, it has been awhile, particularly here as I run the new version from the betas and thus start on the new version a couple months before full release), reworked much of they dolphin kpart's UI, and I'm wondering if the popup previews got taken out. Because I don't remember seeing them for awhile. Tho I normally use gwenview for image file management, and the "semigui" midnight commander (aka mc) in a konsole window for sysadmin type tasks and text editing, so I don't spend as much time in either konqueor or dolphin as a lot of folks do, and didn't really notice the changes. (I'm aware of them because I saw a note about bringing inline file rename back in the 4.8 or 4.9 feature list for dolphin, with them noting that the changes had broken the feature, and I remember thinking to myself that I hadn't noticed it was gone, which I certainly would have had I used dolphin/konqueror more, since I use that feature when I do.) So I'd suggest either using the icon preview feature, or switching to gwenview (as I use) for image file management. (Do note, however, that gwenview only shows directories images and video, not other filetypes, so it's not appropriate as a general file manager, as you won't even see sound file, text files, etc, with gwenview.) I do miss the popup preview occasionally myself, tho, and had wondered for a few seconds where it went a time or two, but I didn't worry about it too much because as I said I don't actually tend to use konqueror/ dolphin that much, except occasionally as what amounts to fancy file-open dialogs. One other possibility. I'm assuming you have all the usual semantic- desktop stuff turned on? I not only have it turned off, but as I'm on gentoo, I took advantage of USE flags to turn the feature entirely off at build time. And I switched that from on with 4.6 to off with 4.7, which was I think about the time the popup preview feature disappeared as well, and it's likely I subconsciously attributed changes about the same time to that. But AFAIK no binary distro ships with the semantic-desktop stuff turned off at compile time, so I'd guess your Fedora 17 has it at least compiled in, even if you have it turned off at runtime. Assuming that's true, if you're missing the popups too, it can't be the semantic-desktop I built kde without, which means it's probably due to those dolphin kpart changes I mentioned. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
