Bug ID: 408986
Summary: Previews for plain text files no longer work.
Product: dolphin
Version: 19.04.2
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: view-engine: general
Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: 3ndym...@protonmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
The previews for plain text files no longer work. These are the previews that
show when you hover the mouse cursor over a file. They suddenly broke about a
month or 2 ago. They work fine for other files, such as shell scripts, but
they only show a blank page preview for any plain text file, such as
textfile.txt, or even just textfile (no extension). If I change the file name
to textfile.sh, the preview works fine.
Previews are set for text files in Dolphin preferences. I tried unchecking &
checking it again, but the problem persists. Clicking the preview button at
the top does not fix it, nor does changing the size of the icons. Clicking
show preview in Adjust view properties does not fix it either.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Hover mouse cursor over text file icon.
2.
3.
OBSERVED RESULT
The preview popup shows a blank page.
EXPECTED RESULT
The preview popup should show a preview of the text in the file.
