I need tech support.KDE Dolphin refuses to display any folder previews. Running dolphin in the console prints out: QPixmap::scaled: Pixmap is a null pixmapOne line for each folder. I can not find a solution to this online. Does anyone know how to fix this?
>>1566627folder or file previews? you need to install the previews thing for files , they don't ship with arch for example (arch ships with nothing)
>>1566627Install `qt6-imageformats`, `kimageformats` and `kio-extras`.
>>1566647NTA but I have all of these installed and I have the same problem. Individual files show thumbnails just fine, but folder icons don't preview their contents.
>>1566644>>1566647I have all the dependencies installed already. Dolphin for some reason just refuses to show the folder contents like how >>1566694 describes here. I did notice that it did work when I changed the icon to a custom one. See picrel to see what I mean.
>>1566702That's an interesting workaround. I was able to get the same results by replacing the icon for one of my folders with a bitmap image. However, if I used one of KDE's in-built icons, which are SVG vector images, those won't work.It might be worth browsing /usr/share/plasma/desktoptheme/ or /usr/share/icons/breeze, copying the SVG folder icons, then converting them to PNG or another bitmap format if you want "normal" folder icons that can display previews.
>>1566694>>1566702just checking you both have folders enabled in the checklist?
>>1566746Which checklist?
